Michael V pays tribute to Nora Aunor with sketch: ‘Only one Superstar’

Award-winning comedian, actor, and artist Michael V paid tribute to the late National Artist and Superstar Nora Aunor through a moving Facebook post, where he shared a hand-drawn sketch titled SUPERSTAR.

In his post, Michael V reflected on a conversation he once overheard in the 1990s. It came from another iconic figure, Rico J. Puno, who spoke about what it truly takes to earn the title of a superstar in the Philippine entertainment scene.

Puno described five accomplishments that define a true superstar:

• Your TV show must be No. 1 in ratings.

• Your movie must be a box office hit.

• Your songs must be on radio station playlists.

• Your concerts must be sold out.

• Your theater or stage performances must earn glowing reviews.

Michael V, known for his wit and creativity, looked back on that list and offered his own reflection.

“That’s a tall order, isn’t it? Yet there’s only one person I know who achieved all of these—simultaneously—at one point in her career… and that’s Nora Aunor.”

He then posed a challenge to his followers, asking, “Is there anyone in this generation who can even come close to what she accomplished?”

His answer was firm: “I seriously doubt it.”

The tribute ended with a simple but powerful farewell.

“Rest in peace, Superstar.”
