đ “From Tuyo to Tears”: The Story of Conflict and Regret Between Matet de Leon and Nora Aunor
Manila, Philippines â One of the most emotional stories in recent Philippine showbiz history is the complicated and heartfelt relationship between Matet de Leon and her adoptive mother, the iconic Nora Aunor, known as the “Superstar” of Filipino entertainment.
đŠď¸ The Beginning of the Rift: The âTuyo Warsâ
In late 2022, Matet de Leon launched her own gourmet tuyo (dried fish) business. Not long after, her mother Nora Aunorâwho also had her own tuyo brandâwas said to have indirectly criticized Matetâs product. Deeply hurt by the unexpected blow, Matet went live on social media, tearfully expressing:
âPara akong tinraydor.â
(âI feel like I was betrayed.â)
Fans were shocked to witness such a public clash between mother and daughterâsparked not by personal matters, but by business rivalry.
đ¤ Reconciliation in Silence
In early 2023, Nora Aunor appeared on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda and finally addressed the conflict. She admitted she didnât realize her words would wound Matet so deeply and said she hoped they could talk things out.
Shortly after, the two reportedly quietly reconciled. While the public didnât witness a dramatic reunion, close friends confirmed that Matet and Nora had made peace, choosing to restore their bond as mother and daughter.
đ˘ A Regret Too Late
When Nora Aunor passed away in April 2025, Matet could no longer contain her grief. At her motherâs wake, she expressed deep sorrow and regret, saying:
âPatay na ang nanay ko. Wala na ang nanay ko… Tapos sasabihan niyo ako ng ganyan?â
(âMy mother is gone. Sheâs no longer here⌠and you still talk to me that way?â)
She admitted she wished they had talked more, reconciled earlier, and spent more time together. The pain of losing her mother was amplified by the things left unsaid.
đď¸ A Lesson in Family and Forgiveness
The story of Matet and Nora is not just about two celebrities at oddsâitâs a powerful reminder that family bonds, even when strained, can still be healed with understanding and love.
What started as a business-related misunderstanding eventually turned into a public lesson about humility, vulnerability, and the precious chance to make peace before itâs too late.

One of the comments from the basher said:
âYouâre such a snobâthatâs why Ate Gay left you.â
Others added:
âDonât you have any projects anymore?â
As if to imply Matet was a has-been with no career left.

âI just want to let you all knowâwhat happened yesterday, when I cried during the live. I wasnât crying out of embarrassment for doing a live, okay? Because I am extremely proud to be a TikTok live seller for the brands I believe in. I really love going live. Even when Iâm going through something, I still show up. I show up properly and happily.
I got upset yesterday because of that one heartless and shameless person, okay? But the live selling itselfâI love it. Thatâs why I want to thank the people who support me during my lives, especially my regular customers. You might think I forget youâno, I donât.â
So thank you, thank you, thank you everybody for being kind and respectful.
All I can say to those people who just want to provoke and insult someone whoâs only trying to work and do what she lovesâIâm going to start reading fewer comments and Iâll do my best to not let people like that ruin this work that I truly loveâbecause of all of you.
