The case for 18 "MISSING" Cocoy Laurel paintings.

July 11, 2025

Nagsimula sa isang missing painting ang blog ko from this post Cocoy Laurel's three paintings of Nora Aunor? June 24, 2025.

Salamat sa post na nag viral mula sa video blog kay Pinas Unlmtd sa facebook at si Francis Tanseco sa YouTube na viral na din., dahil ang mga ito ay nakatulong sa search ko for the missing paintings.

Here below is the potential look of this missing painting which was featured in the movie "Lollipops and Roses".

Hanggang sa naging tatlong missing painting sa blog na ito Another painting (5th) by Cocoy Laurel of Nora Aunor surfaced today? July 05, 2025.

Mula sa private message ni Marie Cusi, I surmise na iba pa ang painting na ito sa photo below dahil sa size nito compared sa size ng photo above that is featured sa movie na "Lollipops and Roses". Here is this photo below.

The painting might look like this below, sorry I don't have enough editing capacity to make it look even better, but just to give us an idea.

Then, naging walong missing painting sa blog na ito Cocoy Laurel's more than 10 Nora Aunor Artwork? July 07, 2025.

Here below is a screenshot of a comment from a Noranian sa viral na video ni Pinas Unlmtd.

It claims that Cocoy Laurel have a painting of Nora Aunor in Filipiniana. Could this photo below is this painting?

Here below is a photo from the fb profile of Editha Gabiana (who was one of the people who look after AG during her last days).

This might be how it looks like. Poor photo quality pero if someone have this photo please do give me a copy. TIA.

This photo above looks like Nora Aunor in Filipiniana, is this a painting? Is this by Cocoy Laurel?

Salamat sa info ni Victoria Donato dahil nagkakaroon ng linaw pakonti-konti ang mga estorya. Ang mga Nora Aunor fans ang nakatulong sa search ko. Eventually, incidentally and inevitably, mukhang na recruit ko na si Victoria Donato in helping me look for the missing paintings.

However, the search is not only to look for Cocoy Laurel missing paintings of Nora Aunor but to try to account and locate their whereabouts and perhaps to put them all together in an exhibit.

Victoria Donato messaged me to say that there are at least 10 Nora Aunor paintings by Cocoy Laurel which I blog on this link Cocoy Laurel's more than 10 Nora Aunor Artwork? July 07, 2025.

Here below is the screenshot of that message.

And then, Victoria Donato pointed me to a comment that says about 20 Cocoy Laurel paintings of Nora Aunor as muse? July 10, 2025.

Here below is the screenshot of that comment from Remy C. Repollo.

So far, ang alam ko that exist is dalawa lang.

Those are the Nora Aunor with flowers and the portrait of Nora Aunor that Cocoy Laurel himself gave to Lotlot De Leon.

Here below is the collage of this two paintings in existence.

Kung totoong may at least 20 artwork of Cocoy Laurel na si Nora Aunor ang musa in the medium of oil paintings, paintings and sketches. Ang napakalaking tanung is nasaan na ang mga ito?

Eighteen (18) unaccounted for na mga obra ni Cocoy Laurel with Nora Aunor as muse ang mga nawawala - "MISSING" - at nasaan na kaya ang mga ito?

Kung sino man po ang may mga alam sa mga whereabouts ng mga paintings and or sketches to please let me know so we can make a directory.

Kung sino man po may malilinaw na mga photos of the paintings to also please let me know.

Maraming salamat in advance.

Sayang na sayang kung totoo na 18 missing and perhaps lost paintings of Cocoy Laurel of Nora Aunor will be gone forever.

On another note, I just want to share this photo below which I blogged as Who is the painter for this Nora Aunor portrait "MOVIE QUEEN" ? July 11, 2025
