Why Nora Aunor didn’t make it to Cannes Film Festival


Got a tip? Send it to us at manila@coconuts.co.


Congrats once again to the Brillante Mendoza film Taklub, which made its world debut at the recent Cannes Film Festival!
 
Part of the Un Certain Regard category of the filmfest, Taklub didn’t just get a couple of good reviews online, the movie also won the Ecumenical Jury Prize – Special Mention.
 
We’re still not over how its lead star Nora Aunor wasn’t able to attend the filmfest.
 
According to the blog dlist.ph, Nora requested for a flight upgrade (from economy to business class).

She went to the airport expecting to ride business class. When she discovered she wasn’t, the Superstar ended up taking the cab going home.

According to the blog, Nora could have just taken care of the upgrade herself had she known about the issue earlier.

 
Noranians have been very vocal about the issue, commending their idol for doing what she did because she deserves nothing less than business class.
 
We have to agree. Sayang she wasn’t able to attend the filmfest.
