Manila, Philippines- Dagsa ang mga mensahe ng pakikiramay ng mga celebrities sa pamilya ni Nora Aunor.
Kanya-kanya rin sila sa pag-post sa mga unforgettable moments nila with La Aunor.
Isa na d’yan ang singer na si Louie Heredia. Ikinuwento ni Louie nu’ng panahong kapitbahay nila si La Aunor sa La Vista.
Salaysay ni Louie, “I have always known her as NORA AUNOR…she was my neighbor in La Vista Subd., QC.
“She was my neighbor for a couple of years but WOW…I learned at a very young age to live beside a SUPERSTAR!
“My recollecton living beside a SUPERSTAR… bus loads of people, fans entering a private subdivision…loads and loads of people visiting her from all around the country…they would sleep/camp out in our street around her house…our kasambahays would rush to her house right after serving us dinner…there was a ‘samba’ of what I remember.
“When she would come out of her room, at her veranda…all the fans would be screaming… anytime of the day!
“The cars, including ours could not pass our road because of the soooo many fans.”
Naging kaibigan din ni Louie ang nakababatang kapatid ni La Aunor na si Eddie Boy Villamayor.
Pagpapatuloy ni Louie, “Eddieboy Villamayor actually became my friend…we actually biked around Nora’s house and I met Arnold Gamboa who was a big star too during the early 70’s. “Very sad that Eddieboy Vllamayor (Nora’s brother) passed away a couple of years back. “SUDDENLY, Nora was gone from La Vista….I was only 10 yrs old then and did not know what happened. I was sad BUT definitely, my experience as a young kid living beside a SUPERSTAR lived in me…FOREVER!
“After I gratuated College in the US…never did I think that I would enter the world of showbuziness!
“BUT…I did!
“In my mind as a ‘star’ now…my first guesting that I thought would be a ‘breeze’ was the top rated, SUPERSTAR hosted by no less than the SUPERSTAR herself and the one and only…Kuya Germs!
“BUT NO…it was the hardest thing to guest in this show…AS IN!!!”
Hanggang sa nakapag-guest na siya sa musical variety show ni La Aunor.
“Finally, I was able to guest in Nora’s, SUPERSTAR at Broadcast City…the show starts at 6pm RPN9…if you guys remember…and I was there as early as 2-3pm.
“Not too many people yet at that time but Nora was there…seating on the side of the SUPERSTAR stage….I approached her.
“I was nervous but was my natural self…I said ‘Hello po Ate Guy…si Louie Heredia po ako…bago po akong singer.
“Alam po ninyo…neighbor po tayo noon at naging kaibigan ko rin yung kapatid niyo…si Eddieboy.
“She asked me saan? Sa La Vista, I said.
“She answered me…’paborito kong bahay yon’….then she teared in front of me. I will never forget this experience…after this, she always wanted to guest me at SUPERSTAR thus 1 of our duets in the video.
“The last time I spoke to her thru our producer in Los Angeles was in 2008 and we were both ecstatic talking to each other then.
“REST IN PEACE, ATE GUY! MARAMING SALAMAT FOR HELPING US ALL….MARAMING SALAMAT SA NAPAKALAKI MONG PUSO,” pagtatapos ni Louie. Julie Bonifacio
