Beth Parrocha: Mabuhay! Greetings from the Philippines. I am Maria Elizabeth Parrocha. My nickname is Beth. My professional name is Beth Parrocha. My last name, Parrocha, is a Spanish word, and it is interesting.
The English translation of Parrocha is pilchard, which is a small edible commercially-valuable marine fish of the herring family. The terms sardine and pilchards are not precise, and what it meant depends in the region. The United Kingdom's sea fish industry authority, for example, classifies sardines as young pilchards. One criterion suggests fish shorter in length than 15 centimeters or six inches are sardines, and larger fish are pilchards.
I'm honored and delighted to meet you. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain my last name.
