Following the service, the Megastar spoke with reporters, expressing her long-held desire to collaborate with La Aunor, a dream that, unfortunately, never materialized.

“I think it’s everyone’s dream to work with ‘the greats,’ and she’s certainly one of those,” she stated.
“It's an end of a golden era in the industry. Because Ate Guy is truly one of a kind. The original and the one and only superstar. We all wanted to be like her,” Sharon added.
Former Senator Kiko echoed Shawie’s sentiments, highlighting Ate Guy’s inspirational journey from humble beginnings to superstardom.
“She is a great loss, a national treasure,” Sen. Kiko remarked. “Her story, from selling water by the train tracks in the Bicol region to becoming a superstar, is truly an inspiration to many people.”
The Megastar also expressed her satisfaction that La Aunor was able to enjoy the honor of being named a National Artist during her lifetime.
“I'm glad that she became a National Artist while she had time to enjoy the honor. And she was so deserving of it. It's a very big loss to the industry,” she reiterated.
Nora passed away on Wednesday night at the age of 71. Her son, Ian de Leon, later confirmed that her death was a result of complications following a medical procedure.
