Who says Nora Aunor is already penniless and homeless?
Now with her recent discovery of her possession of a sixty-hectare land in Iriga City, who would care label Nora as a former rich woman who had only her shirt on?
Aunor, as a matter of fact, is landed gentry in Bicolandia when she was accorded a document that says she owned a vast tract of land in her town in Camarines Sur.
According to a very close friend of Guy, the huge rice field and coconut plantation was all her own. “Sa kanya talaga nakapangalan ang lupain. Gano’n kalaki ang mga ari-arian ni Ate Guy sa Bicol (The property is named after her. That’s how big Ate—a term of respect to an elder woman by blood or by affinity—Guy’s land is,” the source said who requested anonymity.
Thank God! Mamay (a Bicolano term for an older woman especially addressed to a mom) Tunying, (Antonia Cabaltera Villamayor, Nora’s mother) had the prudence to buy that large estate during the height of the actress’ popularity. “Mabuti na lang at nakaisip si Mamay Tunying na ang mga kinikita noon ni Mama Guy—a term of endearment to La Aunor—ay maisubi at naibili ng mga lupa sa Bicol (It’s good Mamay Tunying had thought of saving Mama Guy’s money during those times and was able to buy the land in Bicol),” quipped our spy.
As a matter of fact, according to our source, there are still other properties of Nora in Bicol being legally fought to her credit as the real owner of homesteads. “May umaangkin kasi ng kanyang mga lupa sa Bicol pero maipapanalo niya dahil may mga dokumento siya (There are unscrupulous people who grabbed her properties in Bicol but she won over them because she has the lawful documents),” said our source.
La Aunor indeed has been a haciendera all her life.
Didn’t you know that all the sacks of rice Guy had been distributing during these times of the pandemic threat and frenzy have been prepared by her farmers and workers in Iriga City?
When the Superstar celebrated her birthday last May with a gift-giving spree, the packs of rice were the harvests from her ricefields.
