Matet De Leon calls out Ian De Leon: 'Sana sinabi mo rin 'yung mga nagawa mong mali'

Matet De Leon has broken her silence on the ongoing "mana" controversy surrounding their family following the death of their mother, Nora Aunor.

On Facebook, Matet addressed the issue after her brother, Ian De Leon, publicly spoke about matters involving their inheritance.

“Maraming nangyari sa amin na hindi ko na ni-reveal sa inyo dahil hindi naman kayo kasali,” she wrote. “’Pag nalaman ninyo, baka maloka kayo.”

The actress said she had been careful with her responses regarding the issue and stressed that Ian's statements reflected only his side of the story.

“Nung nagpa-interview siya at nagsabing siya ang sole heir nang paulit-ulit, umikot [ang] mga puwet ninyo,” she said. “Nag-assume na nang-aagaw kami.”

“Mga ‘to naman o. ‘Yung amin, ayoko na sanang ilabas,” she added. “Never kayong nakarinig o nakapanood na nag-overshare ako ha.”

Matet also called out online bashers who have criticized her family despite not knowing the full story behind the controversy.

“Ang tunay na kaaway ay kayo,” she said. “Na para bang may nagawa kami sa inyo mismo.”

“You don’t know us, we don’t know you. Wala kayong kaalam-alam sa nangyari.”

She likewise denied accusations that she had been ungrateful to her mother.

“Alam niyang sobrang grateful ko at naalagaan ko siya nang higit sa makakaya ko,” she said.

Addressing Ian directly, Matet challenged her brother to also reveal his own faults.

“Para sa’yo, ‘Kuya’ Ian, sana sinabi mo rin sa tao ‘yung mga nagawa mong mali,” she said. “Na hindi totoong nangkakamkam kami.”

Matet also referenced an alleged Zoom meeting previously mentioned by Ian, questioning its purpose and expressing disappointment over how the issue has affected their family.

“Sa tingin mo ba, deserve namin ’to? Na winawalang-hiya kami ng tao kahit alam mo kung sino at anong klaseng tao kami? Mukha kaming kupal kahit alam mong hindi,” she wrote.

Matet further claimed that Ian had not been responding to her messages, prompting her to address the matter publicly on Facebook.

Earlier, Matet expressed being fed up with the “mana” controversy surrounding their family on TikTok.

On an episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," Ian acknowledged the misunderstandings within the family and expressed hope that the issues would eventually be resolved.

"I don't want to force anything until it's the right time for things to be solved," he said.

During the interview, Ian explained the one-person corporation he established to preserve their mother's legacy and said he wanted to involve his siblings in the process.

Ian is the only biological son of Nora and actor Christopher de Leon.

Shortly after his TV appearance, his adopted sister Lotlot De Leon, appeared at a press conference and said, "Wala akong hinahabol na mana."

In May, Matet herself appeared on "Fast Talk" and denied they were feuding with Ian and called what they were going through a "misunderstanding."

Nora died on April 16, 2025 at the age of 71. According to Ian, her cause of death was Acute Respiratory Failure.

Dubbed the Superstar, Nora was named a National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts in 2022. She was known for her iconic roles in the films "Himala," "Bona," and "Minsa'y Isang Gamu-gamo."

She married Christopher de Leon in 1975, but they later separated and their marriage was annulled in 1996. They have five children: Ian, Lotlot, Matet, Kiko, and Kenneth. —Hermes Joy Tunac/JCB, GMA News
