Fans anticipate Nora’s first Cinemalaya entry STAR CIRCUIT By Ricky Calderon (The Freeman) | Updated July 11, 2014 - 3:22am Superstar Nora Aunor stole the show without really trying at the Cinemalaya 10 press conference held Wednesday at the CCP lobby. Nora is the lead actress of “Hustisya,” the Cinemalaya entry of director Joel Lamangan in the Director’s Showcase category. It is written by Ricky Lee and is the reunion flick of three noted artists. Nora said she is happy to be reunited with director Joel and screenwriter Ricky in this important project, which is also her very first Cinemalaya entry. The actress was wearing a shirt with the word “Hustisya” printed on it. It is obviously a promo shirt for the film where Nora plays a foul-mouthed woman who fights for her soul in the belly of the city. Working for a human trafficking agency controlled by a powerful syndicate, she sees no evil, hears no evil. In a society like this, you only have two choices – to be a victim, or a victimizer. The actress was immediately swarmed by the media after coming down to the second floor of the CCP where the guest stars were gathered. It was Nora’s first public appearance since the controversial snub done to her by President Noynoy Aquino, who dropped her from the list of honorees of the National Artists Award. But the actress chose not to comment anymore on the issue. Nora said she is overwhelmed by the support given to her by the media, people from the academe, as well as other National Artists. Since she already issued a statement on the issue, the actress declined to comment further on the matter. “Maraming-maraming salamat sa lahat ng mga kababayan natin. Tuwang-tuwa po ako sa mga nagtatanggol, sa lahat ng mga tao na naniniwala, at nagtitiwala sa larangan ng pag-arte,” she said when asked to comment on the overwhelming support she got from all sectors. This early, many are predicting that Nora is certain to win the best actress award in the Director’s Showcase category for “Hustisya,” which is one of the much-anticipated entries in the festival.
