‘Kung kami ang direktor ng Jesusa ipinaglaban namin si Nora’

SABI ng writer-director ng Sylvia Sanchez starrer, he had no one else in mind para magbida sa kanyang pelikula kundi si Nora Aunor.

Binabalangkas pa lang daw nito ang kuwento tungkol sa bidang adik ay si Nora ang nasa isip niya na bagay magbigay-buhay sa karakter.

During the initial talks ay aprub na raw kay Ate Guy ang mga inilatag na terms. Humirit ang aktres ng ilan pang kundisyon, pinagbigyan naman siya.

In other words, Nora was pampered like a kid whose whims were met. When the deal was finally sealed ay pinalagan daw ni Nora ang ilang napagkasunduan na.

This is where all talks had bogged down. Napilitang kumuha ng replacement, at si Sylvia na nga ang final choice to essay the role.

Kung nagkataong hindi isang big Nora fan ang writer-director, Nora as his choice to play the bida would sure have been farthest from his mind.

But if we were the playwright-megman, kung talagang nagbitiw kami ng salitang hindi namin ‘yon gagawin kung hindi rin lang si Nora ang bida, we would have exhausted all means to make our dream project come true.

Given na sa mga malalaking pangalan ang pagkakaroon ng demands—unreasonable even. Kung kami, we would have gamely acceded to fulfilling those demands.

Nora Aunor is Nora Aunor. Pero Sylvia Sanchez is also Sylvia Sanchez.
