    Loyal Noranians Hoping Movie She's Doing With Direk Dante Mendoza Will Win Her More International Awards

    9:30 PM
    THE LOYAL FANS of Nora Aunor are understandably upbeat since their idol is now finally shooting a new movie in Tawi-Tawi. This is an indie film from Cannes best film director Brilliante Mendoza. Entitled “Thy Womb”, Ate Guy plays a native Badjao woman who works as a midwife in their community. Her followers are hoping that it will be entered in international film festivals, just like the previous films of Mendoza, and would give Ate Guy another international best actress award like “Flor Contemplacion Story” that won her the 1996 Cairo filmfest best actress award.

    Working with her in the film’s cast are Lovi Poe, Mercedes Cabral and Bembol Roco. Ate Guy’s last mainstream film is “Naglalayag” (2004) that won her the Brussels filmfest best actress award. While she was hiberating for 8 years in the U.S., she did a couple of indie flicks like “Care Home” and “Ingrata” but these sloppily made flicks didn’t help forward her career at all.

    Noranians are now hoping “Thy Womb” will really help boost Ate Guy’s film career. It’ll be a fitting birthday gift for her as she turns 59 on May 21. After this movie, they hope she’ll do a new teleserye for TV5 then the long planned big concert she’s aiming to do, hopefully in October.
