WASHINGTON - Nora Aunor is back at the top of her game, her Filipina lawyer Claire Espina said categorically rejecting as "false" reports that the superstar was arrested in Los Angeles recently for violating the terms of her probation.
Aunor's manager Norie Sayo dismissed the reports as “crazy news" fabricated and spread by "some parties who do not have anything better to do with their lives."
"Guy is well and moving around freely and in the midst of preparing for her coming tour in April," Sayo said adding "I cannot understand where all of these crazy news are coming from."
Aunor’s April tour entitled “Superstar —
the concert” will begin on April 13 in Seattle, Washington, move to New Jersey
April 21-23 and then to Vallejo, California April 27-29, Sayo said. The show
will have Ian and Kiko de Leon as her guests with Tirso Cruz.
Espina, a UP graduate and a partner in
the prestigious Los Angeles law firm Edelberg and Espina, told the Manila Mail
Aunor has maintained a very active concert and show schedule and “by all
indications one can say she is back in her game."
A Los Angeles Superior Court spokeswoman
said that if the star had been rearrested it would have been noted in her case
file.
The spokeswoman said the only notation in
Nora Aunor’s file was that she had to appear in court on Oct. 1 to show proof
she’d paid all her fines and taken all the classes she had been required to
take as a condition for her release on probation.
The District Attorney’s office said it
had no information about Aunor being rearrested.
The 53-year-old Aunor, popularly known to
her fans as “Ate Guy,” was arrested at the Los Angeles airport in March 2005
when security agents discovered in her handbag 7.7 grams of methamphetamine,
known as shabu in the Philippines.
She entered a guilty plea in a Los
Angeles Superior Court last year and agreed to allow probation officers to
monitor her progress at a court-ordered drug rehabilitation program. In
exchange sentencing was delayed for 18 months.
In October 2007, if there are no other
arrests, her guilty plea will be withdrawn, as if never made, there will be no
record of a conviction, and the case will be dismissed. Her arrest will also be
stricken from the record.
Aunor, whose real name is Nora Cabaltera
Villamayor, has made more than 170 films and recorded a number of albums.
