Zsa Zsa Padilla, partner or the late Comedy King, Dolphy, as well as the latter’s co-stars in the defunct “Home Along Da Riles” sitcom, commemorated the actor’s death 12 years ago.
Padilla, who is now in a relationship with architect Conrad Onglao, went to Dolphy’s tomb at the Heritage Park in Taguig, and offered a basket of white flowers, as posted in a Instagram post.
“It’s Dolphy’s 12th year death anniversary today. RIP, Lovey. You are always in our thoughts and prayers,” she wrote with a picture of her standing on her late husband’s grave.

“As always, Zsa! Thank you for the flowers,” he said.

(Even if we can’t see you or be with you personally, it will always feel like you never left us because you are here in our hearts.)
Barretto also shared some photos from their visit on her Instagram page, writing, “Tatay, you are terribly missed. Mahal na mahal ka namin [praying and heart emojis].”
