LAST Sunday, we stayed up way past our bedtime to watch the “Alay Tawa” tribute to Dolphy on ABS-CBN. It was a noteworthy production because it involved the talents of all three of our leading TV networks, who were finally brought together by their shared love and respect for the local entertainment scene’s recently departed King Comic.
Only close family members, friends and media representatives will be allowed to attend the private burial rites of comedy king Rodolfo “Dolphy” Quizon Sr. Sunday at 3 p.m., at Heritage Memorial Park in Taguig City.
COMEDY king Dolphy fought the good fight to survive his many illnesses last month but, just as it appeared that he was on his way to recovery, he expired shortly before his 84th birthday. He left not just his loved ones, but the entire nation in a state of stunned bereavement, and he will be sorely missed.
THE country mourns the death of Philippine comedy king, Dolphy Quizon. After all, he was “king” for decades. I wasn’t really a fan, although I watched some of the master comedian’s films. From being a dancer at Clover Theater, I admired his phenomenal ascent to the top.
A public viewing for the body of Comedy King Rodolfo “Dolphy” Quizon will be held Wednesday evening, the Quizon family said.
AILING king Comic Dolphy’s latest medical saga has kept his many fans on worried “ICU watch” for about a month now, going from one medical bulletin to the next with bated breath and hearts in hand. In fact, there were days when, as the senior star slipped into a coma, the dire situation looked increasingly like a deathwatch.
The family of comedy king Dolphy decided to suspend regular briefings on his health last weekend because of his improved condition.
Dolphy seems to be getting better as one actress-visitor told reporters Friday night that the comedy king smiled back at her.
Vic Sotto describes his interaction with Dolphy, “my idol,” before they appeared together in a movie as very casual: “Hi-hello lang.”
