MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippines actress Nora Aunor — the same Nora Aunor who was snubbed by President NoyNoy Aquino in last year’s naming of the country’s National Artists – keeps on reaping film awards. She is unstoppable.

This time, Ms. Aunor beat herself in the Best Actress category of the annual Gawad Pasado film awards.  PASADO (Pampelikulang Samahan ng mga Dalubguro) is an organization of private and public school master teachers, elementary through college, reviewing films as documents and materials for teaching different disciplines.

Actually, Ms. Aunor tied with herself in this year’s Best Actress award.  She was nominated for two of her films, Hustisya,  and Dementia.

It is not uncommon for film awards bodies to declare a tie among contenders in acting or film.  However, with Ms. Aunor winning in both her films, PASADO did not have to go through the trouble of ordering a second award trophy. That saved the teachers some money, especially considering that teachers are among the lowest paid professionals in the Philippines.

All’s well that ends well!
