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.
