Ate Guy mina-manage na si John Rendez | Pilipino Star Ngayon

John Rendez has ignited a firestorm with his recent comments about his unwavering loyalty to Nora Aunor, declaring, “Without me, she wouldn’t have made it through…”

For over 30 years, John has been more than just a talent under Nora’s management—he’s been her closest ally through life’s ups and downs.

At just 18, John was taken under the wing of the renowned Superstar. Now, at 52, his steadfast support remains unshakeable. In a heartfelt interview, he expressed, “I don’t think of myself. I want her to see that I’ll never leave, no matter what they say. Whether rich or poor… that’s Ate Guy. I love her.”

Despite his three decades of dedication, Nora recently reflected on her perceived shortcomings: “After all this time, I feel guilty for not contributing more.” Yet, John’s loyalty has never faltered, even when others abandoned ship. “I’m the only one who stayed,” he stated. “Everyone else gave up!”

When asked if he regrets not achieving greater success as a singer-actor, John simply replied, “That’s what God intended. If my path were different, I wouldn’t be here for the person who needs me most,” indicating Nora.

John has faced criticism and misunderstanding, but those close to Nora understand the depth of his devotion. “In another life,” he mused, “the roles could be reversed. I might just be paying off debts.”
