MATET DE LEON MAY REBELASY0N SA DAHlLAN NG PAGPANAW NG INANG SI NORA AUNOR!

Manila, Philippines — In a moment that has shocked the entire nation and broken the hearts of millions, veteran actress Matet de Leon has come forward with an emotional and unexpected revelation regarding the death of her mother, Nora Aunor, the country’s beloved and iconic Superstar.

While the official announcement of Nora Aunor’s passing was already a devastating blow to the Filipino people, it was Matet’s raw and heartfelt statement just hours later that deepened the sorrow and stirred questions that fans and followers didn’t see coming.

In a press conference attended by close family, friends, and members of the media, Matet, holding back tears, bravely addressed the public.

“I owe it to my mom’s fans to tell the truth. This is not just about saying goodbye — it’s about understanding what really happened,” she began.

According to Matet, the cause of her mother’s death was not simply due to old age or natural causes, as was initially speculated. Instead, she revealed that Nora had been quietly battling a long and painful chronic illness, which the family had chosen to keep private for years.

“She didn’t want people to worry. That’s the kind of woman she was — strong, proud, and always thinking of others before herself,” Matet said.

While Matet chose not to disclose the specific name of the illness out of respect for her mother’s privacy, she confirmed that it was something Nora had been fighting for over a decade — a health battle that intensified in recent months, leading to her sudden deterioration.

“There were nights when she couldn’t sleep from the pain, but she still smiled in public. She still worked. She still sang. That was her love for her craft — and for the people,” she added, her voice cracking with emotion.

She also addressed the rumors and speculations that had long circulated on social media, saying that many had no idea what Nora had been going through behind closed doors.

“Some people judged her. Some laughed when she looked tired or sick. But now you know — she was a warrior, hiding her pain so that we wouldn’t have to see it.”

Matet shared that in the final days of her mother’s life, Nora had asked for only one thing — that her fans remember her not as someone who disappeared quietly, but as an artist who gave everything she had until her final breath.

“She told me, ‘Don’t let them forget who I was, anak. Remind them of my songs, my movies, my story.’ And that’s what I’ll do for the rest of my life,” Matet said.

The press conference ended with Matet breaking down as she thanked those who stood by their family during the difficult journey.

“Thank you to everyone who loved her. My mother didn’t just belong to me. She belonged to the entire nation.”

As tributes pour in from politicians, artists, and fans from across the globe, the country prepares to honor Nora Aunor not just as a star — but as a fighter, a mother, and a symbol of resilience in Philippine culture.

A public memorial is expected to be held at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in the coming days, where fans may pay their final respects.
