Dolphy was honored on his 11th death anniversary not only by his partner Zsa Zsa Padilla, sons Vandolph and Eric Quizon, but also by his fellow cast members of the hit 1990s sitcom “Home Along Da Riles.”
Padilla marked the occasion with her usual routine, visiting and bringing flowers to Dolphy’s grave, as seen on her Instagram page on Monday, July 10.
“Today is the 11th death anniversary of Dolphy. Please say a little prayer for him,” she said in the caption.
“You are remembered everyday, especially today,” Eric wrote while showing an old photo of him and his dad. “It has been [11] years.”
For his part, Vandolph remembered his late father in a small get-together with their fellow “Home Along Da Riles” cast members including Claudine Barretto, the late veteran actor’s grandson Boy2 Quizon, Smokey Manaloto, Gio Alvarez, former actress Maybelyn dela Cruz and Brod Pete. Writers and staff of the show were also present at the gathering.
