Nora Aunor is a living legend and needs a big welcome. Her contributions to Filipino Cinema are immeasurable. She has been hailed as The Best Actress of All time.
She needs to make ground breaking films worthy of her talents. Calling Lav Diaz, Mario O'Hara, Celso Ad Castillo. She needs the respect. I don't think judging her based on her past is necessary. In comparison to Michael Jackson, she is a saint, but look at how fans of Michael Jackson and fans all over look at his artistry and not judge him based on his personal life. Nora's personal life is not perfect, but that's her personal life. Her artistry is the one that she offers the public. As an artist there is no comparison. She out sold the Beatles and Elvis Presley with record sales. She still has the biggest selling single of all time. If inflation adjusted her Guy and Pip loveteams films puts all the new loveteams to shame in boxoffice sales. She still has the longest musical variety show "Superstar" She has done phenomenal theatre. She made us proud with international best actress awards. Himala has been hailed as the best Asian film of all time by CNN. She has produced quality films worthy of international recognition. She will continue to make film events if allowed. Her contributions and artistry are mountains. Are we going to wait when she dies to recognize all of this? Are we going to continue to crucify her for a personal life foible that is a smidgen compared to her enormous art multimedia contributions? Don't judge her personal life and recognize that she is a National treasure and deserves all the accolades and respect while she is alive.
