Matet de Leon assures Nora Aunor fans: ‘Even in heaven, mommy loves them’
MANILA, Philippines – Nora Aunor loves her fans just as much as they love her, even beyond death.
This is according to her daughter Matet de Leon as droves of supporters braved the blistering heat on Saturday, April 19, to see the Superstar for the final time.
Although most Noranians are now senior citizens wrestling with their own health issues, they did not mind the long lines and weather as they wanted to pay Aunor — a National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts — their respects.
“We assured them that mommy knows that they’re here and they should know that mommy deeply loves them and her love for them does not end here,” De Leon told Rappler in a mix of Filipino and English.
“Even in heaven, mommy loves them.”
The family held a public viewing for “Ate Guy” at The Chapels at Heritage Park in Taguig on Saturday and Sunday, April 20, to give her fans a chance to say goodbye.
While the public viewing on both days ran from 10 am to 4 pm, many Noranians were already waiting in line as early as 6 am.
Also, many of them travelled from the provinces, including Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and even Ilocos.

“We’re happy. We appreciate everybody, not just the fans, but also the friends of mommy who came. It is a big deal for us that they came here,” said De Leon.
Aunor died of acute respiratory failure on Wednesday, April 16, at the age of 71.
For De Leon, it will take time for her to get over the fact that Aunor — despite all her faults — is now gone.
