MANILA, Philippines—The body of Comedy King Rodolfo “Dolphy” Quizon was brought to his home for the last time in Parañaque City before it was transferred to the Dolphy Theater in ABS-CBN compound in Quezon City.

The hearse left The Heritage Memorial Park in Taguig City around 2 p.m. to take the body to his house in Marina Subdivision in Parañaque City, where he spent the last few years of his life with common-law wife Zsa Zsa Padilla.

Padilla in an earlier interview said it was Dolphy’s request to go home even while he was at the intensive care unit of the Makati Medical Center.

Afterwards, the body was brought to Dolphy Theatre in the ABS-CBN compound where his family, relatives and close friends from the showbiz industry could offer prayers and pay their last respects.

Eric Quizon’s manager, Dolor Guevarra, earlier said Dolphy’s body would stay at the Theater until around 3 a.m. Thursday before being transferred back to the Heritage Park.

A public viewing will be made available at 9 p.m. Wednesday until 2 a.m. Thursday inside Dolphy Theatre to give some fans a chance to take a final glimpse of the Comedy King.

As to the public viewing at the Heritage Park, Guevarra said the schedule was set to 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday until Saturday, before the “tentative” burial of the Comedy King on Sunday.

Senior Superintendent Tomas Apolinario said three mobile units and 20 police officers were deployed around the vicinity of Heritage Park to maintain peace and order.

Thank you very much Dolphy! Now I can relive episodes of Home Along The Riles, Home Along The Airport and John En Shirley on YouTube.

I have nothing against Dolphy, but isn’t it too much waste of government resources and police manpower for such too many motorcycle escorts (I think I saw around 16 motorcycles).

Pang patay na lang ba ang mga pulis natin?

Sa lahat nang naiambag niya sa sining at kulturang Pilipino, marahil ay kulang pa ang isandaang pulis, sir.

So do not ever complain of rising criminality or lack of police visibility. Our police force is busy attending funerals.

Para lang po sa kaalaman niyo, sir: ang police escort para sa isang funeral motorcade ay isa sa mga paraan ng estado upang makidalamhati at magbigay-galang sa yumao. Itinuturing itong simbulo ng “huling serbisyo” na maaari nating ihandog sa yumaong nirerespeto at tinitingala ng publiko. Kung man may mamatay at may magbigay ng isang-dosenang bulaklak bilang simbulo ng pagdadalamhati, sasabihin ba nating “sayang naman yan, pwede namang isang bulaklak lang.”?

caloyco… kupal ka lang talaga noh… dami mong napapansin… yaan mo… pag natigok ka… kahit ni isang tricycle ng barangay tanod… di ko papapuntahin sayo… bugok… (dis is PANCHITO!!!)
teraytaray

sir/mam, with all due respect, sa laki ng taxes (from his talent fee and from his movie company RVQ) na binayaran ni mang Dolphy during his entire career, siguro naman maliit lang yun kung ikukumpara ang gastos sa escort. e ikaw ano ang nai contribute mo sa bansa natin?

BoBo ano gusto mo yun mga politiko at intsik na corrupt ang eskortan ng mga pulis na yan? ULUL hihihihihihihi.

Palparan

Ginagamit lang ng ABS-CBN ang pagkamatay ni dolphy para dadami ang manonood ng TV patrol… baka may kinalaman ang ABS-CBN sa pagkamatay ni dolphy…

kasingpangit ng mukha mo ang ugali mo. Nasa mental hospital ka naman yata. Bakit kaya may mga Pilipinong walang utak na gaya mo. Ipakain mo na lang ang sarili mo sa mga animals sa manila zoo para may pakinabang ka.

Palparan

andresa igbac

KSP lang yan , cuty

BatangSingapore

walang kataka taka na si Dolphy ay mas mahal at ginagalang ng sambayanan filipino sa buong mundo kesa sa pinagsamang Ninoy at Cory Aquino.

andresa igbac

ibang level naman sila eh. isa ka pang negative thinker. ikaw di mo nga mahal mismong bansa mo. sa name mo pa lang. kakahiya ka.

BatangSingapore

iba na itsura ng minamahal ng sambayanan pilipinas, si Dolphy nagalis ng problema ng bayan samantalang si ninoy at cory at ngayon naman dinagdagan pa ni abnoy ang problema ng bansa.

Uror ka ! Wag ka ng mag intriga. Mahal sila pareho ng mga Filipino. As to your idol , Gloria , never mind !
BatangSingapore

What an Insensitive comments from the bloggers…Dolphy had contributed so much…2 days are not enough to give full respect for this national artist. Dolphy made a lot of people happy even if it is for a little while…Salute to Mang Kosme…

andresa igbac

ganyan talaga avtar. di natin maaalis na may mga makikitid ang utak kung mag-isip at insentive ang ugali na parang di tinuruan ng magulang o di nakapag-aral.

Halatang masama ang loob ni zsa zsa sa abs at kay charo santos.. she thanked tv5 for their support to dolphy right in front of the faces of abs hahaha

andresa igbac

i dont think there was such intention. lines have now been crossed over networks because of dolphy’s death. don’t put malice naman. be positive.

What ?? Dolphy’s remain was 1st placed in ABS CBN owned DOlphy theatre !
tipaklong

She did thanked both TV5 and abs-cbn in case you didn’t hear well her eulogy. It is but right to thank TV5 for their continued support and giving Dolphy’s salary even if he was already sick. But the most inspiring that she said was “hanggang sa langit si Dolphy ay mananatiling kapamilya”…

May ari ng Makati Medical Center ay si TV5 Manny V. Pangilinan, so definetely hindi siya pababayaran sa hospital bills at may sweldo maski hindi nagtratrabaho, wow galing gn TV5.
