Comedy King Dolphy Dies at 83

The nation is grieving over the lost of a great man — a legendary artist who probably started the genre of comedy in Philippine entertainment, a great father (to his eighteen children from different mothers but all well-taken cared of by Pidol), a wonderful  lover and partner to Zsa-Zsa Padilla, and a cherished friend and idol to many.

The legend, Rodolfo Vera Quizon, Sr., more popularly known as Dolphy or Pidol, was born July 25, 1928. He died at the age of 83, last night and I’m sure many tears flowed when the tributes from different TV stations were aired because of his death, anticipated (because of his heart and pulmonary conditions) but still came as a shocker since many prayed and hoped he will still live more years.

I and my family, though Dolphy never came to know us, join the country in thanking God for his life on earth, for all the lives he touched and for his decision to be a source of smiles, laughter and inspiration to many.
