Ailing Comedy King Rodolfo “Dolphy” Quizon was able to talk, a party-list official who visited the 83-year-old actor at the hospital said.

President Benigno Aquino on Thursday cited Dolphy’s “immense” contribution to the entertainment industry, but said it was leaving it to cultural authorities to nominate the gravely ill comedian for the national artist award as the process “should be free from politics.”

More groups are pushing for the immediate conferment of the National Artist Award to ailing Comedy King Rodolfo “Dolphy” Quizon.
