In last Thursday's press conference, Ian stressed that the National Artist did not die during an operation.
"She was being operated on, and after that, she had a hard time breathing, and eventually, all things went downhill from there, and that's why they had to do another procedure after that," he clarified.
Aunor, considered by many Filipinos as their country's greatest actor and singer, died aged 71. Proclaimed a National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts by the Philippines in 2022, the once child snack vendor will be honored with a state funeral on April 22.
