LOTLOT NOT CONSULTED ON nora aunor ENTERPRISE AND FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED BY IAN
Naging kontrobersiyal ang paggunita sa unang anibersaryo ng pagpanaw ni Nora dahil sa opisyal na pahayag na inilabas ng Estur & Associates, ang legal counsel ni Lotlot.
Isa itong malinaw na indikasyong may isyu nga sa pagitan ng mga naulilang anak ni Nora.
Nakasaad sa statement na hindi umano kinonsulta si Lotlot kaugnay ng pagtatatag ng One Person Corporation (OPC), kung saan sakop ang Nora Aunor Enterprise at Nora Aunor Foundation, bilang pagbibigay-pugay sa alaala ni Nora.
Taliwas daw ito sa naging pahayag ni Ian sa panayam sa kanya ni Rico Hizon sa programang Beyond The Exchange, kung saan sinabi ng aktor na kinonsulta niya ang kanyang mga kapatid tungkol dito.
Wala raw anumang kinalaman si Lotlot sa itinatag na korporasyon ni Ian.
Nakasaad sa official statement ng abogado ni Lotlot na si Atty. Mark Julius Estur: “To dispel any speculations and doubt, Ms.de Leon was not in any way and in any capacity involved or consulted in the establishment of a One Person Corporation (OPC) for both a foundation and an enterprise in honor of Ms. Nora Aunor which Mr. lan De Leon has mentioned in his interview.
“In fact it is our view that a Foundation cannot be established through an OPC legally. Any statement of attribution to Ms. de Leon is misleading and a false representation. She has not participated in the founding, management or fundraising efforts of the OPCs that Mr. lan de Leon has established and that her personal charitable efforts remain focused elsewhere.
“In Mr.de Leon's recent interview, he stated that, despite the claim of being the sole heir, our Client and her siblings are still included in the plans. Our client denies such statement as insofar as she is concerned, she was not consulted and simply informed at the very least of any participation or plans for the administration of their mother's estate."
NO LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
Ayon din sa abogado ni Lotlot, sa kanilang pagkakaalam ay walang Last Will and Testament na nagtatakda kay Ian bilang solong tagapamahala at nag-iisang may awtoridad sa estate ng kanilang ina.
Idiniin din nilang hindi habol ni Lotlot ang anumang mana at kikitain sa estate at legacy ng pumanaw na ina.
Kusa raw lumayo si Lotlot sa anumang responsiblidad matapos magdesisyon si Ian na kunin ang responsibilidad sa lahat ng usaping legal kaugnay nito.
Ito ay sa kabila ng alam daw ni Ian na may nauna nang itinatag na foundation si Lotlot, kasama silang magkakapatid, at nagpahayag pa raw ito ng suporta.
Maiintindihan daw kung bakit nasaktan nang husto si Lotlot nang itanggi ni Ian na may alam siya tungkol dito.
"To our client's knowledge, there is no Last Will and Testament executed assigning sole administration and authority to the estate of their mother.
"Ms. de Leon is not after any inheritance nor seeking for any gain attached to the estate and legacy of her mother. She has stepped away completely and this was a conscious and respectful decision after Mr. lan de Leon chose to take full responsibility for all legal matters.
“Relative to the foundation that our client has previously established together with her siblings, Mr lan de Leon was informed about this matter beforehand and he expressed his support then.
"It was deeply hurtful and difficult to understand on our client's end when, after the foundation's YouTube channel and Facebook page were made public he denied knowledge of the same."

NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LOTLOT AND IAN
Wala na rin daw komunikasyon sina Lotlot at Ian mula noon.
Nanatiling tahimik daw ang aktres bilang respeto sa alaala ng kanilang yumaong ina at upang maiwasang lumala pa ang sigalot sa pagitan ng magkapatid.
Pero iba raw iba ang naging pakahulugan sa pananahimik ni Lotlot.
Idiniin ng kampo ng aktres na hindi nito hahayaang makaladkad ang kanyang pangalan sa isang bagay na wala siyang kinalaman, at magamit sa paraang salat sa katotohanan.
Saad ng abogado ni Lotlot: "lan De Leon and our Client have no communication since, Ms.de Leon has remained silent before out of respect for their mother and to avoid further conflicts during an already difficult time.
"But that silence has been misunderstood. Our client will not allow her name to be dragged into something she is not a part of, or used in a way that does not reflect the truth.
“Our client stands independently and refuses to be part of a false narrative. We ask the public and media to kindly ensure that her name is not used in association with Mr. lan De Leon's efforts, No further comments on this matter shall be made.
“Today is National Artist of the Philippines for Film and Broadcast Arts, the late Ms. Nora Aunor's first death anniversary, let us continue to honor her memories and remember her with love.
"We extend our sincere gratitude to the public for the continued love and support for Ms. Nora Aunor, Her legacy will continue to live on through those whose lives she has touched.
"Ms. Lotlot de Leon shall continue to honor her mother's memory privately, truthfully and in her own way."
