It’s something that could break her avid followers’ hearts. But while it’s hard for National Artist Nora Aunor to imagine turning her back on the glitzy industry that has given her so many accolades and blessings, the Superstar also admitted that the idea of retiring has been at the back of her mind from time to time.

At the recent press con for her upcoming film “Pieta,” Ate Guy explained, “Time will eventually come when I will have to stop working. Pinag-iisipan ko na ngayon kung paano ko gagawin ang pag-exit ko sa industriya. Tinitimbang ko kung makakaya kong tumigil … pero hindi s’ya magiging madali para sa akin.

“Napamahal na kasi sa akin ang sining. Kaya nung sinabi ni Direk Adolf (Alix Jr., director of ‘Pieta’) na may gagawin kaming pelikula, tuwang-tuwa ako dahil nakaka-miss talagang umarte. [During the pandemic,] ang hirap ng walang ginagawa. Tapos, nanood ka sa TV at nakikita mo ang ibang magagaling na artista na may ginagawa, kaya lalo mong nami-miss.”

Acknowledging the question

Since she plays a visually impaired mother in the film, Ate Guy was asked by a member of the press if she finds being an actress harder than being a mother.

Perhaps acknowledging that the question was in reference to the recent controversy between her and her daughter Matet de Leon, the Superstar said, “Napakahirap sagutin n’yan bilang ina … kasi baka may masabi na naman akong [hindi namin pagkakaunawaan ng aking mga anak].

“Kasi may kanya-kanya na silang pamilya. Noong araw, bihira kaming magkita-kita. Kaya mayroong nagpaparating sa kanila ng balita na hindi totoo, at mayroong nagpaparating sa akin ng balita na hindi rin totoo.

“Naisip ko lang, kung paniniwalaan mo lahat ng mga hindi magagandang naririnig mo, hindi ‘yun maganda [para sa aming lahat] … kasi pamilya mo ang palagi mong kasama habang buhay. Sila lang talaga ang makakaunawa sa ‘yo. At sila din ang palaging nandoon ano man ang mangyari.” INQ
