@macherie – nakapanghihinayang nga. Kung tutuusin sana siya ang pinamayaman na artista, but then ganuon talaga ang buhay at sa sobrang mapagmahal at maunawain niya sa kapwa tao, ang sirili niya at napabayaan. At humanga din ako kay Kuya Germs dahil hanggang ngayon he is there for Nora Aunor.

hindi ang yaman lang ang sukatan ng isang tagumpay, si Ms. Nora Aunor ay matagumpay sa lahat ng bagay, dahil nandiyan parin siya, patuloy na lumalaban sa mapanuring mata at mapanghusgang kaisipan ng mga taong salat sa pangunawa. Ang taong matatag sa kabila ng napakarmaing pagsubok na dumaan sa buhay niya, iyon ang para sa akin ay matagumpay na tao. Salamat sa mga impormasyon!

Nora Aunor is a genius when it comes to acting. Just when everyone in cinema and TV now needs to scream and deliver long monologues to get their messages across, her we have an actress who main utilities are her eyes and simple facial movements. Look at her final homicidal scene at Bona where she is about to scald Philip Salvador with a boiling caldroun of water and her short glance to her mother prior to declaring that everything is a hoax in Himala. These are exampled of her ability to convey at thousand words with simple glances. This is what cinema acting is all about
