Dolphy Is An Epic


“Mang Dolphy is more than just a comedian. He exemplified in many ways the best in Filipino.”

Thus spoke ABS-CBN Chairman and CEO Gabby Lopez at the arrival honors for the late Comedy King Dolphy Quizon at ABS-CBN’s Dolphy Theater on Wednesday, July 11.

The place was abloom with white flowers and Dolphy’s photos – especially vintage ones when he was many years younger – adorned the entrance to Dolphy Theatre and the stage itself.

President Noynoy Aquino’s giant spray of white flowers stood beside Dolphy’s bronze casket.

A red carpet served as fitting welcome to the Comedy King, who worked for the Kapamilya network for more than 40 years.  His first ABS-CBN show was the highly-popular “Buhay Artista” in the `60s. The younger generation knows Dolphy best as Kevin Cosme in the sitcom “Home Along da Riles.”   /MP
