Stars are crossing network and political party lines to pay tribute to and pray for comedy king Dolphy, who is in critical condition and under intensive care at Makati Medical Center (MMC).
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.”
Malacañang urged the nation to pray for comedy king Dolphy who is fighting for his life in the hospital.
Dolphy’s wish is for a short and swift close to his long-running road show.
Actor-musician Ronnie Quizon, son of comedian Dolphy, said on Wednesday the family has prepared for the eventuality of the comedy king’s death.
