The superstar underwent cosmetic surgery years ago that allegedly damaged her vocal cords. She returned to the country in February after a series of medical check-up and treatment for her vocal cords in the U.S.
Nora, who made a showbiz comeback last year and did a couple of acting projects, said seeing other people sing makes her cry, since she misses performing before an audience so much.
“Umiiyak pa rin ako kapag nakakapanood ng mga kumakanta. Sa totoo lang,” Nora said in an interview at the 9th Enpress Golden Screen Awards on Saturday, March 24, in Teatrino Greenhills.
Nora received the Lino Brocka Lifetime Achievement award.
‘It really hurts’
Although she regrets the damage to her vocal cords, Nora has learned to accept the fact that a lot of harm has been done.
“Masakit talaga. Nagsisi ako kung bakit ko ginawa (ang cosmetic surgery), pero andoon na iyon, eh. Wala na tayong magagawa.”
Nora admits always listening to her hit songs even if it hurts her. She is happy that Noranians continue to believe in her.
“Iyon na lang ang nagbibigay-buhay din sa akin talaga. Maliban sa pamilya at sa lahat ng mga nagmamahal sa akin,” she said.
Medical update
Nora gave an update on her medical treatment in the US.
“Na-check-up na ako ng doktor. Kaya kailangang bumalik ako para sa operation. Totoo iyon (na malaki ang magiging expenses). Kaya pinag-iipunan ko pa ‘yong ibang dapat gastusin.”
Nora is slated to do new projects for her home network, TV5, but she will first make a movie with multi-awarded director Brillante Mendoza this April.
