Her reminiscing post transported readers back to a time when the entertainment industry was a close-knit world, filled with camaraderie and the magnetic presence of “Superstar” Nora Aunor.
The showbiz columnist’s post detailed the daily routine of their “Tambay ni Guy” (Guy’s Hangout) group, a collection of writers and friends who would congregate at Aunor’s residence from dawn till dusk.
She recalled the lavish meals, the generous allowances, and the overall sense of being “spoiled” by the superstar’s largesse.

Even then, Manay Lolit noted, La Aunor’s propensity for generosity hinted at a future where financial prudence might not be her strongest suit.
The columnist also touched upon the dynamics within Ate Guy’s inner circle, mentioning June Rufino, the Superstar’s “girl Friday” and the era’s “dakilang bag lady.”
Solis acknowledged their good fortune in avoiding Rufino’s reported “maldita” (mean) streak.
The Christmas season at Ate Guy’s, she recalled, was a spectacle of overflowing gifts, drawing showbiz writers like moths to a flame.
The narrative then shifted to the rise of Regal Films and Lily Monteverde. The veteran showbiz columnist recounted Mother Lily’s purchase of the Valencia property, a move perceived as a form of “revenge” against La Aunor for the long, often fruitless waits.
During this period, Manay Lolit described herself as Mother Lily’s “dakilang alalay” (great assistant), a role she jokingly referred to as an “upgraded slave.”
Despite the demanding nature of her work, Manay Lolit expressed fondness for those times, highlighting the sheer joy and excitement that permeated the showbiz scene.
She credited those experiences for shaping her and her colleagues into who they are today. Solis also expressed gratitude for Mother Lily’s generosity, which allowed her and fellow Regal loyalists to invest in units at the Imperial condominium.
The post concluded with a wistful longing for the return of those golden days, a sentiment that resonated with many who remember the era’s unique blend of glamour, camaraderie, and larger-than-life personalities.
Manay Lolit’s recollection serves as a poignant reminder of a time when Nora Aunor reigned supreme, and the entertainment industry was a world unto itself.
Lolit Solis is a well-known personality in the Philippine showbiz industry. Born on May 20, 1947, in Sampaloc, Manila, she started her career as an entertainment news writer and later became a talent manager and host of television talk shows.
In another recent Instagram post, Manay Lolit expressed her opinion as regards the situation of the late Hajji Alejandro’s GF, Alynna Velasquez. It can be recalled that Alynna earlier said she was unable to go to her BF’s wake for reasons beyond her control. Alynna did not mention what those reasons where, though some netizens speculate it might be regarding her status in the late OPM icon’s life vis-à-vis his family. Manay Lolit, in her post, explored the challenges often faced by non-legal partners during the period of bereavement.
Previously, she expressed her grief, in a social media post, over the passing of Superstar Nora Aunor and Asia’s Queen of Songs Pilita Corrales. The veteran showbiz columnist noted the “empty” feeling in Philippine showbiz after the two icons passed away. Manay Lolit likened the loss to the void left by Mother Lily Monteverde. She also said that these losses created a somber atmosphere, prompting her to reflect on the current state of the Philippine showbiz industry.
