THE one and only superstar of Philippine cinema, Nora C. Villamayor, best known as Nora Aunor, has died. She was 71 years old.
The news was confirmed through a Facebook post by her son, Kristoffer Ian De Leon, on April 16. “We love you Ma… alam ng Diyos kung gano ka namin ka mahal.. pahinga ka na po Ma.. nandito ka lang sa puso at isipan namin.. (God knows how much we love you.. rest now Ma.. you’re here in our hearts and minds..),” he wrote.
He added in a later post: “She was the heart of our family — a source of unconditional love, strength, and warmth. Her kindness, wisdom, and beautiful spirit touched everyone who knew her. She will be missed beyond words and remembered forever.”
Ms. Aunor’s cause of death has not been disclosed by her family, though she reportedly had a medical procedure done in a hospital in Pasig City. The veteran actress has been battling health issues, limiting her public appearances in the past few years.
