MANILA, Philippines – The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) was brimming with moviegoers and fans during the gala premiere of Nora Aunor's “Hustisya” at the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival, on Saturday, August 2.
“Hustisya” is Nora's first film with the Cinemalaya—and her fourth since returning to the Philippines in 2011 after staying in the United States for several years. The veteran actress did “El Presidente” and “Thy Womb” in 2012 and “Ang Kuwento ni Mabuti” in 2013.
