On the spot painting contest on Nora Aunor "SUPERSTAR" show during the 70's.

 Where are all the paintings that were created during the 1970's Nora Aunor show called "SUPERSTAR"?

Alam nyo po bang mayroon palang on the spot painting contest noon sa show mismo ni Nora Aunor? This is according to one Nora Aunor fan na si Victoria Donato sa kanyang message kay Francis Tanseco.

Photo collage below is from an old photograph; in black and white with word "SUPERSTAR" is the actual show name seen on TV and the colored paintings below are Francis Tanseco paintings Filipinism, La Aunor, Woman (clcik here for some info) 



Nasaan na kaya ang mga paintings na ginawa mismo on air during the show "SUPERSTAR" of Nora Aunor?

According to Noranian na si Victoria Donato, "nung araw recall ko sa Superstar, early '70's nagpa-on the spot painting contest pa mismo sa show". 

This is an interesting information because it shows that Nora Aunor at an early age during her teenage years have already an appreciation for the arts. 

"Birthday nya yata nuon" said Victoria Donato. Superstar first aired in 1970 according to Wikipedia and Nora Aunor was only seventeen (17) years old at the time. 

"Superstar' was a musical variety show which was preceded by "The Nora-Eddie Show" (co-starring Eddie Peregrina) in 1967 and "The Nora Aunor Show" in 1968 according to this FB post by Yves Flores.

The show ran for 22 years, making it the longest-running musical variety show on Philippine primetime television. 

Victoria Donato said that "Birthday nya yata nuon" pertaining to the on the spot painting contest with Nora Aunor as the participants muse. "In was participated in by notable professional portraitists" she added.

It would be interesting if a video of this "Superstar" episode will be surface showcasing the painting contest on live TV. 

Here below is additional info from Victoria Donato, see screenshot below.

In conclusion, Victoria Donato said that "siguro around 1972-74 Superstar episode na yon. Dalaga pa si Ate Guy".

In relation to this information, it would appear that there are paintings of Nora Aunor painted by notable artists at the time which might still be around. I hope all of this painting will be found and put on exhibit and the artists will be named and celebrated.

Maraming salamat po mam Victoria Donato for this beautiful cultural information. Isa kang umalahukan.

 Just like yours truly, Filipino actor, recording artist and painter Mr. Victor "Cocoy" Laurel who sadly passed away June 14, 2025 have also been inspired to paint Nora Aunor as his muse. How many times did he painted Nora Aunor?  I am intrigued coz I am a fan of other painters work especially if it is Nora Aunor as muse in a painting. As far as I am aware, Cocoy Laurel might have painted Nora Aunor three times since 1970 till his passing in 2025? As for me, I have three series of paintings with Nora Aunor as muse, one of which is titled  Filipinism, La Aunor, Woman (clcik here for some info)  This series have been exhibited in London and also have been featured in several video interview. TV5 featured this series in their online page after Nora Aunor's passing  Click here to see my Nora Aunor as painting muse as featured by news5.   Some of the paintings in this series have recently been a finalist in two art competition respectively,  Clcik here for ...

"Sipag talaga ni Ate GUY" says Marie Cusi on her facebook post immediately after the passing of Ms. Nora Aunor on April 16, 2025. "Last April 8, twag sya" confirming that before Nora Aunor went into surgery for Angioplasty, she was asking "sis Marie, pls ask direk Bong when na shoot of Manghuhula this April?" to which Marie replied "Ate Guy, I can ask pero focus ka muna sa Angioplasty mo". Ms. Cusi is obviously more concerned with Nora's well-being rather than the shooting of a new film. Little did Marie Cusi know that it would be their last conversation. She also confirms ...
