“I am writing you in order to address my concern regarding the upcoming concert of Philippine Superstar NORA AUNOR this 29 August 2010 in Sydney.
“As we all know and as it has been broadcasted in the Philippine News including the Filipino Channel and Channel 7 Kapuso, Nora Aunor can no longer sing due to complications she had when she underwent plastic surgery.
“Yet the promoters of her 29 August concert in Sydney are insisting that Nora Aunor still has the golden voice that catapulted her as champion of the Tawag ng Tanghalan in the 1960s.
“Is this not a rip-off to the paying Filipino community in Sydney who are misled in buying tickets for the Ms Aunor’s concert on 29 August?
“This is a clear case of deception or fraud propagated by these unscrupulous organizers of Ms Aunor’s concert. Have you heard if Ms Aunor (after her return to the Philippines) had done major or minor concerts in Manila or any of the key cities in the Philippines? The answer is a big NO. Why? Because Nora Aunor can no longer sing.
“Now these unprincipled promoters of her concert in Sydney this 29 August has still the gall to organize the concert of Ms Aunor.
“This is a shame for Filipinos based in Sydney. We should not display and bring our bad traits to Australia.
“Please do something about this racket of the organizers of the concert of Nora Aunor. The paying Filipino community should know the real situation. Please disseminate this information to the reading public of your community newspaper.”

Nora has to do her concert but just like in Toronto she was honest with her fans that she cannot sing. She has has to honor her commitment to the producer.
I just attended her concert and Melbournelast night (27th May). And you are 100% correct. NORA AUNOR DIDN’T SING!! It was a huge disappointment and definitely a case of DECEPTION and FRAUD. I heard the news about her not being able to sing anymore a couple of months ago. I then contacted the organisers to ask and was advised that it was all a publicity stunt and that there’s nothing wrong with Ms Nora Aunor. It was a good night despite the fact that she didn’t sing, thanks to the other entertainers involved. However, I still feel deceived by the organisers which is a real shame!
I completely agree with your statements 150% This is a clear case of fraud and deception. I feel strongly deceived. Nora (and perhaps more likely her producer) are making money from this scam- knowing months in advance of her Australian tour that she CANNOT sing. Who is benefiting? not the audience that’s for sure- she did not even attempt to perform but sat there telling her story. Whilst I can understand and sypathise with Nora’s unfortunate circumstance, this does not change the fact that she has scammed the filipino community- INTENTIONALLY misleading them into believing she will peform. This does not paint a postive picture for filipino attitude and culture. Nora is exploiting her once- superstar status name- to con the Filipino-Australian community. This may be tolerated in the philippines. But I will not stand for such blatant deception- and agree the Filipino community should be made aware of the real situation.
On 28 August the Nora Aunor “Concert” was held in Brisbane. Like in Sydney, we were duped into this unforseen scam. I agree that the whole Filipino Community should be wary of concert organiser such as Mr Robert Rull. The fact of the matter is that all the concert organisers together with nora aunor and her team were all part of the act and are equally guilty of deceit, providing false and misleading information and fraudulent acts of crime of which they deserved be charged and be penalised accordingly.
If Nora Aunor was in dire need of financial help, organisers could have promoted a charity concert for her instead, however, you and I know that this can not be the case as the organisers will not financially benefit from this. So the question is who benefitted?
We (the audience) were conned and the victims of this unacceptable and unjust selfish act. I urged anybody to come forward and put a complaint against these concert organisers through legal action or by approaching the Office of Fair Trading.
The names of the Sydney promoters of the so called Nora Aunor in Concert should be published in all Pinoy community newspapers in Syndey and be blacklisted. They are making their unsuspecting kababayans as “milking cows”. I hope these promoters believe in KARMA. Don’t do unto others what you don’t like others to do unto you.
Dear Waray-waray,
Thank you for your comment. The producer of the Nora Aunor “Concert” is Nita Christian, former owner of “Corregidor Restaurant which has already closed.

Nora Aunor has not paid me back the money she owes me and people in the Philippines does not know how she has been
borrowing money with empty promises that she will pay it . I am now 73 years old and still paying my credit cards for the
money she borrowed. Come on, Nora, prove that you are qualified to be a National Artist,
