10. NORA AUNOR
Nora Aunor, for all the fame and recognition she has today, also started from nothing.
In order to help provide for her family, she sold bottled water and peanuts to passengers at the train station near their place at a young age.
Her poverty, however, turned out to be her driving force and motivation to persevere.
Nora is now recognized as the Philippines’ “Superstar” as she has starred in several movies and TV series, has several musical recordings, and has appeared in several stage productions.
Nora was awarded with numerous awards and nomination, not only from local award giving bodies but also internationally.
