The evening was not just a film screening—it was a grand reunion of Noranians, celebrities, friends, and family who came together to honor the timeless legacy of Ate Guy. The event also served as a heartfelt offering from RS Francisco, the creative force behind Frontrow Philippines, and the movie’s executive producer. Backed by Frontrow International, Intele Builders, Noble Wolf, and AQ Films, FANEY is a cinematic gift to every Filipino whose life was touched by the artistry of Nora Aunor.
Even before the doors opened, Noranians from all generations had already gathered outside Gateway Cinema 11, proudly holding banners and wearing memorabilia as they prepared to witness a film that hits close to home. It was more than a screening — it was a celebration of an icon’s indelible impact.
Inside, the atmosphere was electric as press and media friends, film industry veterans, and celebrity colleagues of Ate Guy filled the theater. In attendance was Ian de Leon, Nora Aunor’s son, who led the family in this emotional homage. It was a rare moment of unity among fans, friends, and fellow artists who all hold the Superstar close to their hearts.
The Film: A Love Letter from a Fan
Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Adolfo Borinaga Alix Jr., FANEY tells the story of Milagros (Laurice Guillen), an aging superfan who is devastated by the news of Nora Aunor’s death. Her desperation to pay her last respects clashes with the concern of her daughter Babette (Gina Alajar) and the curiosity of her granddaughter Beatrice (Althea Ablan), a KPop-obsessed Gen Z fan.
As Milagros relives the days of “Noramania,” we see how fandom transcends generations, connecting people through shared admiration, passion, and memory. What unfolds is a heartwarming, tearjerking tale of family, forgiveness, and the unshakable influence of our idols.
Laurice Guillen Shines as a True Noranian
Veteran actress Laurice Guillen delivers a performance that is both tender and powerful. She lives and breathes the life of a Noranian in every scene—so much so that many fans left the cinema in tears, overwhelmed by nostalgia. The theater echoed with laughter, sobs, and knowing gasps, as memories of Ate Guy’s golden years came flooding back.
The rest of the cast — including Bembol Roco, Roderick Paulate, Perla Bautista, Angeli Bayani, and Bianca Tan — also brought their best, crafting a film that doesn’t just tell a story, but feels like home for every Filipino fan.
A Must-Watch Tribute to the Superstar
FANEY is more than a film; it’s a mirror to the hearts of millions who grew up admiring Nora Aunor. It captures what it means to be a fan — the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hope that our heroes leave behind even after they’re gone.
As the film prepares for its nationwide theatrical release, audiences across the country are invited to relive the magic, rediscover the roots of Pinoy fandom, and celebrate the unmatched legacy of the one and only Superstar.
