Manila, Philippines — A heavy curtain of sorrow has descended upon actress Lotlot De Leon, as she struggles to cope with the grief of losing music icon Pilita Corrales and the rising fear of what could soon follow — the possible loss of her adoptive mother, Philippine Superstar Nora Aunor, whose health has become a growing concern.

During the solemn burial of Pilita Corrales, known as Asia’s Queen of Songs, Lotlot was seen in deep emotional distress, her tears uncontrollable as friends and family tried to comfort her. But what devastated her most, sources say, was not only saying goodbye to one legend — but the overwhelming fear that another farewell may come sooner than expected.

A Double Weight of Grief

Close insiders reveal that Lotlot has been carrying a heavy emotional burden, not only from Pilita’s death but also due to Nora Aunor’s ongoing health battles. The iconic actress has been in and out of medical treatment in recent months, sparking worry among her children, fans, and colleagues alike.

“Her heart is breaking,” one insider shared. “Losing someone like Pilita was already painful, but the thought of losing Ate Guy? That’s what’s tearing Lotlot apart inside.”

Though Nora Aunor and Lotlot De Leon have had complex phases in their mother-daughter relationship, it is no secret that a deep, spiritual bond connects them. Lotlot, who was adopted by Nora and Christopher de Leon at a young age, has always expressed respect, gratitude, and love for her “Mama Guy.”

Lotlot’s Tearful Words at the Burial

At the interment of Pilita Corrales, Lotlot reportedly whispered a heartbreaking sentiment to a confidant:

“I can’t take another goodbye. I just saw Mama Guy last week… and she looked tired. My heart is scared.”

Her voice, cracked by emotion, struck a chord with many who witnessed her pain — not just as a public figure, but as a daughter caught between grief and dread.

The Legacy of Two Legends

Both Pilita Corrales and Nora Aunor are names etched into the pillars of Filipino entertainment. Their artistry shaped generations, their presence inspired millions. For someone like Lotlot, who grew up watching both women command the stage and screen, their influence is more than professional — it is deeply personal.

“Pilita was like a grandmother figure to many of us,” Lotlot said in a brief media statement. “But my Mama Guy… she’s everything. I’m praying for her every single day.”

A Daughter’s Silent Plea

As Lotlot De Leon continues to face cameras, events, and public appearances, there’s one thing that becomes clear: behind the composed actress is a grieving daughter, still mourning one loss while mentally preparing for another.

“She’s trying to be strong,” a fellow actor shared. “But everyone around her knows — Lotlot is fragile right now.”

In these trying times, the entertainment industry and fans across the nation rally around Lotlot, sending her strength, love, and prayers — especially for the continued recovery and well-being of Nora Aunor.

Lotlot de Leon reconciles with Nora Aunor, looks after sick mother
Multi-awarded actress and so-called Superstar of showbiz Nora Aunor is ill. This is the reason why she was unable to make it to Malacanang Palace on June 16 to receive the plaque of recognition as National Artist for Film.

The doctor reportedly did not allow Nora to attend the conferment due to her illness, so her four children, Ian, Matet, Kiko, and Kenneth, acted as proxies here to receive the plaque.

Lotlot was also unable to be with her four siblings because they were the ones who were looking after their mother.

“We will deliver her plaque to mommy right away. To the fans, thank you so much for your endless love for our mommy. Thank you, thank you so much. We love you,” Matet said in an interview the day they received the plaque for their mother.

Those close to Ate Guy have not given any details about his illness. There is also no statement on how Lotlot and Ate Guy reconciled, as they had a long-standing feud that is said to have stemmed from the Superstar’s relationship with rapper-singer John Rendez.

Lotlot, Matet, Kiko and Kenneth are not Nora’s biological children. Besides, only Ian de Leon came from Nora’s womb, which was the result of her marriage to Christopher de Leon.

According to Lotlot in his previous interview, he did not feel that he was adopted from the very beginning and even though the Superstar confessed to him about it.

“I have always accepted that I was adopted because I didn’t feel… Mommy didn’t treat me differently from how she treated Ian.

“Even my dad, Daddy Boyet, he never treated me less than he treated Ian. I guess, the way they loved Ian, that’s how I felt their love for me. So I didn’t feel different from my brother,” he said.

Ate Guy also gave him the opportunity to meet his biological parents.

Anyway, there will be a tribute for Nora Aunor and the other newly appointed National Artists at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) on June 29 and the Superstar is expected to attend.
