Nora Aunor Contacts Chavit Singson to Sell Some Properties for Hospitalization
One of the most talked about issues in the showbiz world recently was the hospitalization of recognized Superstar and National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Nora Aunor. Cristy Fermin, Romel Chika, and Wendell Alvarez discussed this on their program “Showbiz Now Na,” where they revealed the alleged real reason why the veteran actress sought help before her passing on the night of Holy Wednesday, April 16.

Wendell shared that Nora Aunor called fellow artist and friend Daisy Romualdez to ask for help in talking to former Ilocos Sur governor Luis “Chavit” Singson. According to the story, Nora’s goal was to sell some of her properties in Iriga, Bicol to Chavit. This was so that she could have enough funds for a heart surgery.

When Daisy learned of her friend Nora’s condition, she immediately contacted Chavit to convey the message. Despite this, Chavit reportedly said that he was not interested in buying the said lands because he is not actively buying properties at the moment.

However, instead of buying the land, Chavit reportedly showed generosity. As a fan of the Superstar, and in response to the actress’s situation, the politician reportedly decided to cover all of Nora’s hospital expenses. According to Cristy Fermin, Chavit wanted to keep his help private, but in the columnist’s opinion, it was only fitting to share it publicly as a recognition of his generosity.

Meanwhile, some of Nora’s fans—known as “Noranians”—confirmed this news. They also clarified that it was not because of lack of money that Nora was forced to approach Chavit. According to them, although the actress does not live a luxurious life, she receives monthly income from her pension and income from plantations and land in Iriga.

On April 22, Tuesday, Nora Aunor was taken to her final resting place at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig, in recognition of her great contribution to the country’s arts and culture. Many attended to pay tribute to her memory and contributions to the film industry.

Despite Cristy and Wendell’s admission of the details of the story, Chavit’s camp remains silent and no official statement has yet been released regarding their role in Nora’s last days. But despite the lack of comment from their side, the politician’s alleged help continues to be praised by many on social media.

This story is proof of the unbreakable connection and caring that exists between personalities in the showbiz industry—especially in times of need. With the passing of Nora Aunor, she left behind not only memories of her career, but also the stories of the people who helped and cared for her behind the camera.
