Bumuhos ang pakikiramay sa mga naulila ng nag-iisang Superstar at National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts na si Nora Aunor.

Apat na artistang nakatrabaho ng Superstar ay nagkuwento sa Instagram ng kani-kanilang alaala—lahat ay pumupuri sa kanyang husay at ugali.

Binawian ng buhay si Nora habang nakaratay sa The Medical City, Pasig, nitong nakaraang April 16, 2025.

Siya is 71 years old.

DINGDONG DANTES ON NORA AUNOR

Nakasama ni Dingdong Dantes si Nora sa GMA series na Pari ‘Koy taong 2015.

Hindi raw inasahan ni Dingdong noon na si Nora pala ang sinasabi ng production staff na special guest sa taping.

Kuwento ng GMA Primetime King (published as is): “It was around mid-season of Pari ‘Koy when they announced we’d have a special guest. I didn’t expect it would be ‘the Nora Aunor.’

“August 2015. It was a long shooting day—mostly drama. My scene with her was scheduled toward the end, past midnight, in front of Father Kokoy’s church.

“Rain machines on full blast, everyone focused. The kind of setup that demands your best. All under the direction of the great, late Direk Maryo J.”

Noong panahong iyon, kabadung-kabado raw si Dingdong dahil first time niyang makasama ang Superstar.

Pero lalo raw siyang napahanga ni Nora pagsapit ng maiksing break.

Dagdag niya: “I was nervous. It’s not every day you get to share the screen with the Superstar.

“During a short break between takes, two monoblock chairs were brought out. I thought she’d head back to her tent. But she didn’t. She sat beside me and stayed.

“No fanfare. No walls. Just two people talking—about nothing in particular, and maybe everything that mattered in that moment.

“She didn’t make me feel like I had to prove anything. She made sure I was okay.
