Children of former couple Nora Aunor and Christopher de Leon and their respective families reunited recently.

Though actress Lotlot de Leon and her kids did not join.


In an article published on PEP.ph, the gathering was Ian, Matet, Kenneth, and Kiko de Leon's surprise late Christmas party for their mom.



According to the report, Ate Guy was emotional upon seeing her only biological son Ian, as well as, her other adoptive kids.



Former rapper-actor John Rendez even shared a selfie of him along with Nora and her kids and grandkids.



Recall that in December 2020, Ian took to YouTube to air a message to his mother. It was entitled “The Bitter Truth.”



Ian said, “Ma, mahal na mahal kita. Hindi magbabago ‘yon. Pero kasi ang sakit na eh. Hindi ko na kayang manahimik pa...”



The actor went on to relate the backstory concerning their recent reunion.



“Una sa lahat, tumawag ang mommy ko. Tuwang-tuwa ako kasi ilang taon kaming hindi nag-usap. Tuwang-tuwa ako dahil nag-I love you-han kami, nag-I miss you-han kami. Nagkuwentuhan kami. Plano niya nitong birthday ko maghahanda siya which ilang taong hindi nangyari ‘yon,” he shared, noting how “truly happy” he was and “overfilled with joy” because of it.



But Ian made clear his disappointment with Nora asking him to let her upload footage of their reunion on her vlog.



It was then he said, “This has to end. Hypocrisy has to end. We don’t like to live like this anymore. We don’t want to live a lie anymore.”



He went on, “Ma, alam ko nanonood kayo. Uulitin ko, mahal na mahal kita. Hinding-hindi magbabago ‘yon, Ma. Pakiusap ko lang bigyan mo naman ng chance ang family mo. Ilang taon na kayo, Ma. Bigyan niyo kami ng pagkakataon na alagaan ka, mahalin ka, lambingin ka, araw-araw. Pakiusap, Ma. ‘Yung mga tao sa paligid niyo, alisin niyo na ‘yan, pamilya mo naman. Nakikiusap ako, bilang anak mo, bilang anak mo na nagmamahal sa iyo.”



“Ang hiling ko lang sa birthday ko ay maging Nora Cabaltera Villamayor ka, hindi ‘yung Nora Aunor. Gusto ko maranasan ng mga apo mo ‘yung pagmamahal na puwede mong i-share. Gusto ko makasama mo sila habang may lakas pa tayo.”



Following Ian's statement, Lotlot was quick to defend her brother from a netizen critical of his decision to boycott the birthday party his mother arranged for him.



The netizen wrote: “hindi nga nagpunta si Ian pinaghanda pa naman ng kanyang Ina hindi siya sumipot.”



This sparked a response from Lotlot saying: “yan po ang problema, May nabasa lang kayo at isang panig lang narinig niyo nanghuhusga kayo agad...napanig na po kayo agad ni hindi niyo alam ang mga totoong nangyayare... wag po ganun...puro nalang kasinungalingan ang binabato.”



Meanwhile, Matet then also posted a message to her mother's loyal fanbase.



She wrote on Instagram: “Some people are really so delusional that they think it’s disrespectful when you don’t just sit back and allow them to continue to disrespect you.”


Matet added, “Para kaming nakatali, naka busal, habang sinasampal sampal.”
