Nora Aunor was the everyday Filipino, even at the height of her superstardom. When she gained the power to produce her own films, she didn’t chase easy box office returns.
Instead, she illuminated the lives of those on the margins, giving voice to the silenced. She wielded her art as both a defiance and a championing force.
Yes, she was the superstar, but she constantly reminded us that she was also one of us, who just happened to shine so brightly, a storyteller who dared to look where others wouldn’t.
During the acceptance of her National Artist award in 2022, the “Superstar” dedicated the recognition to fans and colleagues.

Maraming salamat, Ate Guy, for showing us the power of silence, the depth of a stare, and for giving Philippine cinema some of its unforgettable masterpieces.
