Don’t rain on Ate Guy’s parade
Nora Aunor greets fans at the MMFF parade
Superstar Nora Aunor was giddy with excitement when she attended her nth Parade of Stars for her latest Metro Manila Film Festival entry, “Kabisera.”
La Aunor, everyone’s Ate Guy, enthused: “Ang saya ko! Nagkauntog-untog ako sa pag-akyat-baba sa float.” She showed off three bruises incurred from the parade: one on her forehead, another one on her nose and a third wound on her elbow. “Gusto ko kasing makamayan ang mga fans.
“Masyadong mataas ’yung bakod ng float. Noong bumaba ako, naabot ko sila. Pero ‘pag marami nang tao, umaakyat ako uli kasi gusto nila na malayo pa lang, nakikita na nila ako.”
She was moved by the sight of elderly fans who gifted her with rosary beads. “Hindi pa rin sila nagbabago.”
But what thrilled her the most was hearing young Noranians chanting her name. “Nakakatuwa na may bagong henerasyon na tumatangkilik sa pelikulang Pilipino.”—Bayani San Diego Jr.
