It's Gonzalez, not Gonzales

[edit]

Learned it on (sic...rather "in")Spanish class (although I'm really, really bad at it), that when the first letter is z, then the next is z, if its s, then the next is s (or ss). For example, you have Real Zaragoza, not Real Zaragosa or Real Saragoza (although it can be spelled as Real Saragossa).

Although most Filipinos use Gonzales, most mestizos (I suspect Bianca is a mestiza, note that the word "mestizos" is Anglicanized, and is not a proper noun), use Gonzalez. --Howard the Duck | talk, 14:18, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You have a point... but please understand that PBB's official website, as well as a lot of TV programs, spelled her name with an "s" (although her profile in the Celebrity Edition site spelled her name with a "z"). But the original "z" name is now a redirect. Sorry if the move bothered you, Howard. - 上村七美 | talk 10:25, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sure it’s González in Spanish, but it’s far more common for Gonzales to be used in the Philippines, for some strange reason. (I wouldn’t link it to mestizo-ness, though.) But that really doesn’t matter; what we need to know is how the surname is spelled in the case of Bianca here.
I saw it on Candy magazine that its Gonzalez. Although much of Wikipedia's naming conventions say the most notable name would be it the article title, but there is a separate policy on that. --Howard the Duck 02:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

please edit this. Bianca Gonzalez broke with his (sic..."her") boyfriend Lino Cayetano
