Just the week before, Dolphy was given a posthumous award at the Entertainment Editors’ Choice Awards or the Eddys.

Quizon, then, thanked the award-giving body for the honor, saying it was a great gift for Dolphy’s nearing birthday.

Quizon also marked Dolphy’s seventh death anniversary last July 10, saying they celebrate it because of his undying effect on everyone.

“We will never forget the laughter and joy you gave, the thoughtfulness and sincerest care but most of all, it is your unwavering love that we will always cherish,” Quizon said. “Until we see you again. You will always be loved my dearest Dad! #7thyear #lovedad.”
