MANILA -- Netizens were abuzz after actress Matet de Leon shared a happy photo of her with her three siblings who were all adopted by the late National Artist and superstar Nora Aunor.
Matet, who's widely known for her humor, uploaded on Facebook on Tuesday, a happy snap of her with her siblings Lotlot, Kenneth and Kiko with a cryptic caption: "Post ko lang uli. Eto nga pala ang ngiti ng mga ampon na walang mana. 😎 Mukha ba kaming may pake? 😂😂😂."

In the comment section of Matet's post, older sister Lotlot also left a message.
Last week, their brother, actor Ian de Leon, clarified that his status as the sole legal heir of Aunor does not exclude his siblings from family ties, as he takes on the responsibility of managing the late superstar’s legacy.
In ANC's 'Beyond The Exchage" hosted by Rico Hizon, Ian said that as the sole heir of his mother, it is his responsibility to protect what Aunor left behind.
Ian de Leon defends sole heir role, says siblings remain included
Ian is Aunor's biological son with former husband Christopher de Leon, while Lotlot, Matet, Kiko and Kenneth were adopted.
Aunor passed away in April 2025.
Lotlot, through her legal counsel Mark Julius Estur of Estur & Associates, recently issued a statement distancing herself from brother Ian’s claims and initiatives concerning the estate of their late mother, following his interview with Hizon. In the statement, Estur said Lotlot was neither consulted nor involved in the establishment of a One Person Corporation (OPC) tied to a foundation and enterprise in Aunor’s honor, disputing Ian’s assertion that she and her siblings were included in such plans and noting that, to her knowledge, no will designates a sole heir or administrator.
The statement added that Lotlot has chosen to step away from matters related to the estate, is not seeking any inheritance, and has had no communication with Ian, while urging the public and media not to associate her with his efforts.
