Nora Aunor signs up with GMA
Nora Aunor signed a contract last Thursday for GMA Network’s upcoming primetime drama series, Onanay.
Present in the contract signing were GMA entertainment content group senior VP Lilybeth Rasonable, GMA AVP for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy and senior program manager Helen Rose Sese.
Onanay is a heart-warming and different kind of story of love and acceptance between a mother who suffers from Achondroplasia, a bone growth disorder that stunted her growth and her two daughters who grew up physically normal despite the mother’s condition. It shows the infinite and unconditional love that a mother has, and that there is nothing she won’t sacrifice for her children.
Aunor plays a very special role in the series as Nelia, a loving and caring grandmother who is kind yet willing to fight for what is right and will do everything for her family.
The Superstar is proud to be part of the network’s first series that tackles this disorder that will affect the lives of the main characters. She said that since it’s been awhile that she did a teleserye, she feels a bit nervous but more excited because it’s a great story.
Under the helm of Gina Alajar, Nora will be joined by Mikee Quintos, Kate Valdez and Cherie Gil. The series also introduces newest
Kapuso, Jo Berry who auditioned for the role of Onay, the vertically challenged daughter of Nelia.
Completing the cast are Gardo Versoza, Wendell Ramos, Rochelle Pangilinan, Vaness del Moral, Enrico Cuenca and special guest Adrian Alandy.
