Despite the speculation, no statement has been released regarding Ian’s absence during the family visit.
The visit served as a heartfelt tribute to Nora Aunor, who remains one of the most respected and celebrated figures in Philippine entertainment history. Fans online shared birthday greetings and messages remembering the late National Artist’s enormous contribution to film, music, and television.
Nora Aunor passed away on April 12, 2025, at the age of 71. Her passing deeply saddened the entertainment industry and millions of Filipinos who grew up watching her films and listening to her music throughout several decades.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest actresses in Philippine cinema history, Nora built a legendary career that earned her countless awards locally and internationally. She was eventually recognized as a National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts, cementing her legacy as one of the country’s most important cultural icons.
Nora Aunor had one biological child, Ian de Leon, with veteran actor Christopher de Leon. Aside from Ian, the couple also adopted four children: Lotlot de Leon, Matet de Leon, Kenneth de Leon, and Kiko de Leon. Over the years, the de Leon siblings became well-known personalities in their own right, with several of them pursuing careers in show business.
Although the family has recently been the subject of public speculation regarding inheritance issues and internal misunderstandings, many supporters noted that the birthday visit reflected the enduring love and bond shared by Nora’s children.
The touching family gathering also came shortly after previous interviews where Matet opened up about the emotional struggles they continue to face following Nora’s passing.
Matet de Leon is a veteran Filipina actress who first gained public attention as one of the most recognizable child stars of the 1980s. As the years passed, she successfully transitioned into respected supporting roles in both film and television, eventually earning the affectionate title “Best Friend ng Bayan.” Matet is the adoptive daughter of the late National Artist Nora Aunor and veteran actor Christopher de Leon. Throughout her decades-long career, she has remained active in the entertainment industry and was most recently seen in the action-drama series Black Rider.
Previously, Matet de Leon opened up about the emotional reason behind her viral “walang mana” social media post. The actress admitted she became deeply hurt by online comments questioning their gratitude toward Nora Aunor. During interviews, Matet tearfully appealed to the public to respect their family as they continue mourning their mother’s death. She also defended her brothers after cruel and offensive remarks about them circulated online.
Earlier, Matet likewise addressed rumors about tension between her and brother Ian de Leon amid public discussions surrounding Nora Aunor’s estate. She clarified that what existed between them was merely a misunderstanding and not a serious feud. Matet also confirmed that Ian being identified as Nora Aunor’s sole heir was something the family already understood. Additionally, she explained that their absence from Nora’s death anniversary Mass at the Libingan ng mga Bayani stemmed from the family still struggling emotionally with grief and not yet feeling ready to face the public.
