Nora Aunor fulfills 'dream' to work anew with ABS-CBN

MANILA, Philippines – Nora Aunor is back to work with ABS-CBN.

“Talagang pinangarap ko na makabalik ulit sa dos,” said Nora in an interview on Wednesday, at the press conference for her “Maalaala Mo Kaya” Mother’s Day special episode on Saturday, May 7. “Pagkatapos ng napakatagal na panahon na hindi ako nakalabas, unang-una sa dos, lalong lalo na ang MMK.”

“Ang makalabas lang sa ‘MMK’ masayang-masaya na ako,” she added.

mThe Superstar didn’t work with the network since 2011 since the rift between her and some of the network’s executives namely Charo Santos Concio and Malou Santos.

However, Nora clarified: “Kung ano man ang pagkakamali ko, sa mga boss natin, ito ay ihiningi ko ng tawad at hindi ko ikinahihiya. Kung nagkamali ako, kailangan humingi ako ng tawad sa kung sino ang namumuno.”

She also noted that being tapped to star in the Mother’s Day special of “MMK” is sign enough that the network’s bosses have already forgiven her.

The Superstar cannot say yet if her return will mark the series of projects she’ll do with the Kapamilya network.

She said she is open to star in a teleserye if the material is worthwhile.

“Maganda ang materyal siguro at kung magkakasundo sa oras ng trabaho. Kasi may cut-off ako, kahit sa ibang estasyon may cut-off ako,” she said.

Nora also mentioned being open to work with John Lloyd Cruz. Some of Cruz's fans have also wished for him to star alongside the Superstar.

The actress would also need to leave by July for US to undergo a throat operation.

“Ang operasyon sandal lang, ang pagpapagaling,” she replied when asked if she’ll be gone for long.

She would like to recover fast to be able to sing again.

“Kailangan ko magkaroon ako ng kakanta ulit na eensayuhin ko ang sarili ko sa pagkanta,” she said. “Gusto ko ngayong taon na ito. Kasi madalas ko narin sabihin ‘yan pero  hindi natutuloy. Gusto kong matuloy this time ang pangako ko sa sarili ko.”
