MANILA, Philippines – Offering a breather from the doldrums of politics and high prices of commodities, a lawmaker on Monday offered some “feel good” news by proposing to make actress Nora Aunor a National Artist.
Bacolod Rep. Anthony Golez Jr. said the multi-awarded actress, a talent of TV5, is a “national treasure” and that her achievements and contributions to the Philippine movie industry are more than enough to qualify her for the prestigious title.
“The Filipino people are now entangled in so many public issues like the seemingly uncontrollable rise of prices of fuel and commodities but we should not lose hope. There are a lot of things going for our country and the enshrinement of Ms. Nora Aunor as a National Artist is a sure feel- good thing that the Filipinos can hold on to,” Golez said in the explanatory note of his House Resolution 2317.
Its wording goes thus: “A Resolution urging his excellency President Benigno Aquino III, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts to confer to Nora Aunor the honor of being named as a National Artist of the Philippines for her immense contribution to Philippine Arts.”
According to Golez, the actress enjoys broad acceptance and recognition by her peers and critics and by the Filipino people. She has received local and international recognition for her acting, and her works form an important part of Philippine culture.
The lawmaker added that Aunor “has brought not only entertainment but also inspiration to the entire Philippine nation.”
A few months back, she starred in the lead role in the TV5 telenovela “Sa Ngalan ng Ina,” and has a five-year contract with the Kapatid network.
For her acclaimed talent in singing and acting, the diminutive Aunor was christened Superstar by her fans.
Born Maria Leonora Teresa Cabaltera Aunor, the actress, who is also popularly called Ate Guy, started her career at 12 years old by joining amateur singing contests.
Winning one contest after the other, she was soon given a break in the movies and has proven her worth, eventually starring in award-winning hits like Himala, Paru-Parong Itim, Dalawang Mukha ng Tagumpay, Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos, to name a few.
She received numerous Best Actress awards for her performances and was named one of the 10 Best Asian Actresses of the Decade in 2010.
To qualify as a National Artist, the following guidelines are followed: 1) Filipino artists who have made significant contributions to the cultural heritage of the country; 2) Filipino artistic accomplishment at its highest level and to promote creative expression as significant to the development of a national cultural identity; and 3) Filipino artists who have dedicated their lives to their works to forge new paths and directions for future generations of Filipino artists.
The National Artist award is given by the President of the Philippines and is screened or recommended by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

This is echoed by former president, Joseph “Erap” Estrada, who said that, “the title belongs to [Aunor].” He also added, “She’s a good actress.”
Another friend, actress Boots Anson-Roa, expressed hopes that the endeavor would bear fruit.
“She [Aunor] qualifies kasi,” she said. “Lahat ng requirements puede siya.”
Grace Llamazares-Poe, Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) chair added, “Why not? Nora Aunor made a lot of movies that are relevant in terms of artistic value, for example ‘yung
‘Himala.’ Syempre, representasyon din siya ng artistang maraming tumitingala.”
Via House Resolution 2317, Golez urged President Benigno Aquino III, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts to confer to Aunor the honor for "her immense contribution to Philippine Arts.”
The lawmaker explained his proposal as quoted in in an Interaksyon.com report as something that would allow for "hope" amid "the seemingly uncontrollable rise of prices of fuel and commodities."
The report also quoted Golez as saying that Aunor is a “national treasure,” and that her "enshrinement" as National Artist is a "feel-good thing that the Filipinos can hold on to.”
The report further said, citing Golez, “The actress enjoys broad acceptance and recognition by her peers and critics and by the Filipino people. She has received local and international recognition for her acting, and her works form an important part of Philippine culture” and that "her achievements and contributions to the Philippine movie industry are more than enough to qualify her for the prestigious title.”

Bacolod City Representative Anthony Rolando Golez, Jr. has filed a resolution urging President Aquino, the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and the National Commission for the Culture and the Arts to name actress Nora Aunor as National Artist of the Philippines for her “immense contributions” to Philippine arts and cinema.
In House Resolution No. 2317, Golez states that Aunor, whose real name is Maria Leonora Teresa Cabaltera—Ate Guy to his fans—is regarded as the “Superstar” of Philippine entertainment.
Golez said that Aunor’s career, which has spanned more than five decades, has been filled with awards and recognition from local and international award-giving bodies for her outstanding performances, and that she was named as one of the 10 Best Asian Actresses of the Decade in 2010 by the Green Planet Movie Awards in Los Angeles. Voting by movie viewers from more than 100 countries was done online.
A National Artist of the Philippines is a title given to a Filipino who has been given the highest recognition, by virtue of a presidential proclamation, for having made significant contributions to the development of Philippine arts. Honorees are conferred membership in the Order of National Artists, the regalia of which is an ornate, gilded collar of honor.
In addition to the collar, each newly proclaimed member of the Order is given a citation that is presented during the awardees’ conferment ceremonies. The CCP then hosts a Memorabilia Exhibit and Gabi ng Parangal (A Night of Tributes) for the National Artist at the Tanghalang Pambansa.
Other benefits received by National Artists include a monthly pension, medical and life insurance, arrangements for a state funeral, a place of honor at national state functions, and recognition at cultural events.
The National Artist Honors is administered by the CCP by virtue of former President Ferdinand Marcos’ Proclamation No. 1001 of April 2, 1972, and the NCCA. The first award was posthumously conferred on Filipino painter Fernando Amorsolo.
Qualified for the award are:
* Filipino artists who have made significant contributions to the cultural heritage of the country;
* Filipino artistic accomplishment at its highest level and one which promotes creative expression significant to the development of a national cultural identity; and
* Filipino artists who have dedicated their lives to their works to forge new paths and directions for future generations of Filipino artists. The National Artist Award is given by the President of the Philippines and is screened or recommended by the CCP and the NCCA.

There are a lot of things going for our country and the enshrinement of Ms. Nora Aunor as a National Artist is a sure feel-good thing that the Filipinos can hold on to,” Golez said.
He said Aunor has been truly a national treasure and that her achievements as an artist and contributions to Philippine art would be more than enough for her to qualify for the National Artist Award.
