Ian de Leon shares last conversation with mom Nora Aunor

Ian de Leon's last conversation with his mom, Nora Aunor , was before she was rushed to the hospital. In an interview with Vicky Morales and Mariz Umali on “ 24 Oras ” Friday, Ian said that they talked through chat. “Ang pinakahuli niyang message po sa ‘kin ay sabi niya sa ‘kin, ‘Anak, pakihalik mo ako sa mga apo ko.

Hug mo ‘ko sa kanila. Sabihin mo sa kanila na mahal na mahal ko sila,’” Ian said. In response, Ian told the Superstar, “Ma, ‘wag ka namang ganiyan magsalita.



Mag-a-outing pa tayo, ‘di ba? Mag-bi-birthday ka pa. Mag-ba-bonding pa tayo." Ian was also able to tell Nora how much he and her grandchildren love her.

"Lahat po kami binantayan namin siya, talagang hindi namin po siya iniwanan sa tabi niya," he added. When asked what he hopes the public will remember about Nora, Ian shared it’s her “pagiging malapit sa Diyos.” “Buong buhay po namin, hindi naging madali.

Ang buhay ng tao ay hindi madali, maraming pagsubok, maraming pinagdadaanan. Hindi po iba ang aming ina. Bawat isa sa atin may mga pinagdadaanan.

Minsan may konting hindi pagkakaintindihan pero sa halip ng lahat, ang importante ay bumalik loob tayo sa Diyos at matutong magpatawad,” he said. Ian said that he learned to forgive, love, and share through Nora’s examples. “Sa mga taong nagmamahal sa kaniya, sana po ay tularan po natin ang aming ina.

Dahil kung hindi dahil sa kaniya, hindi kami mapapalaki po nang ganito,” he said. Lotlot de Leon also hopes that her mom will be remembered for her generosity and genuineness. “As a person, a lot of people can testify on my mom’s generosity, you know? Hindi lang sa craft niya, kung hindi sa lahat ng bagay.

And that’s why she’s really loved by plenty. ‘Yung pagiging genuine niya and malambing niya sa lahat, the way she helps others also, walang kwestyon ‘yon,” the actress said. Nora passed away on Wednesday at the age of 71.

Ian disclosed in an interview on "24 Oras" that Nora died of acute respiratory failure . Her wake is being held at the Heritage Park in Taguig. A public viewing will take place on Saturday and Sunday, while her interment is scheduled on April 22.
