The family, who had maintained privacy in the days following Aunor’s passing, finally stepped forward to speak not just of her legacy—but of the raw, painful truths that surrounded her final days.

“We are still mourning,” Ian said, his voice breaking. “But the time has come to let the public know what really happened.”

According to Ian, Nora Aunor—known worldwide for her incomparable contributions to Philippine cinema and music—passed away peacefully, but not without pain. “She was hurting, not just physically,” he revealed. “There were things she never said, wounds she carried, even until the end.”

While details of the document remain under legal review, whispers of family conflict have begun to surface. Insiders hint at disagreements among siblings regarding the Superstar’s estate, sparking fears of a looming family feud.
