In a stunning and heartfelt revelation, Matet De Leon has opened up about a deep, long-hidden anger she harbors against the legendary actress Nora Aunor. This emotional disclosure has sent shockwaves through the entertainment community and left fans in disbelief.

The Untold Story Behind the Resentment

Matet, known for her candidness, revealed that beneath the surface of admiration lies a complicated mix of emotions. The anger, which she has kept bottled up for years, stems from personal and professional struggles connected to Nora Aunor.

“It’s not easy to carry this pain in silence,” Matet confessed. “There were moments I felt overlooked and misunderstood.”

What Triggered This Outburst?

Sources close to Matet suggest that the resentment is linked to past incidents where she felt overshadowed or unfairly treated. While Matet respects Nora’s immense legacy, the wounds from these experiences clearly run deep.

Fans and Industry Reaction

The revelation has sparked intense discussion online, with fans expressing sympathy for Matet’s honesty and others calling for understanding between the two actresses.

“It takes courage to speak your truth,” one fan commented.
“Hope they can find peace and reconciliation soon,” another added.

What’s Next for Matet and Nora?

With this emotional revelation now public, many are watching closely to see if there will be a response from Nora Aunor or if this marks the beginning of a long-overdue conversation between the two.

Matet de Leon burst into tears as she expressed regret over not having frequently talked with her late mom, National Artist Nora Aunor, due to their past rifts.

The younger actress was overwhelmed with emotions as she stood in front of the Superstar’s coffin and delivered her eulogy during the last night of the latter’s wake on Monday, April 21.

“Syempre hindi naman po lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat na may mga ano kami ni Mommy. Ako po ang — according to her good friends na nag-aalaga sa kanya — palagi daw po akong binabanggit ni mommy sa kanila as ‘yung anak niyang sutil,” she said.

One of the mother-and-daughter’s feuds that were known to the public happened in 2022, when Matet called out her mom for allegedly directly competing with her gourmet tuyo business.

At the time, Matet said she felt “betrayed” by Aunor and declared that she would never speak to the latter again. Fortunately, the two of them were able to mend their falling-out after a month.

“Meron po kaming mga hindi pagkakaintindihan; maraming times na hindi po kami nakakapag-usap,” Matet continued during the wake. “‘Yung mga kapatid ko po nakakausap nila si mommy pero ako hindi masyado.”

“Ayoko po magsalita dahil I am still full of regrets,” she admitted, wiping the tears from her face.

Matet further hoped that Aunor was aware that she was with her during her last moments.

Matet then faced the casket as she addressed the late Superstar, “Alam mo na, Ma, kung ano po ‘yung sinabi ko sa inyo. Mahal na mahal ko po kayo, Mommy. Pahinga na po kayo.”

Aside from Matet, Aunor’s other children — Lotlot de Leon, Ian de Leon, Kenneth and Kiko — also honored their mom through their eulogies.

Aunor died last April 16 at the age of 71 due to acute respiratory failure. She was laid to rest at the Libingan ng mga Bayani on Tuesday, April 22.
