As of presstime, the King of Comedy Rodolfo "Dolphy/Pidol" Vera Quizon Sr. has already joined our Creator at 8:34pm due to Multiple Organ Failure (He was 83 years old). There was even a dispute from twitter that he is still (I'm hoping) alive but sadly he already left us.
RIP Tito Dolphy (July 25, 1928 - July 10, 2012)
I still remember how he made everyone at our home (as well as our ancestral home in Batangas and Pampangga) laugh at his jokes. From the 60's up to the present, he never fails to tickle our funny bones. I grew up watching John en Marsha as well as Home Along the Riles every Wednesday (or Thursday) night and I do remember some of his antics that made me laugh.
He may not received the "National Artist Award" for now (he prefers to receive the National Arthritis Award), but in our hearts, he is the one and only "Comedy King". By now, he is cracking jokes with Panchito, Babalu, Redford White, Pugak and Tugak and other famous comedians who are already with our creator.

To the Quizon Family, we extend our deepest condolences for the departure of their King. We join the entire Filipino Community in praying for the soul of Mr. Quizon.

This is a sad day but maybe since Dolphy has been struggling in the hospital maybe it's time to rest. He is a funny man than not only tickles are funny bones but he also touches our heart.
ReplyDeleteRIP Dolphy. I am a "Home Along Da Riles" kid and surely, my thursday nights would be a bummer if not for his antics in that show.
ReplyDeletePaalam tito Dolphy! Pinatawa mo ako ng todo nung bata pa ako! May your soul rest in peace with our Lord.
ReplyDeleteI will truly miss the King of Comedy! His presence will be greatly missed not only in the industry but many avid followers as well.. May his soul rest in peace...
ReplyDeletecondolence to the family...
ReplyDeleteRIP Dolphy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that I did not get to see any more of his performances for the last two decades of living abroad. Hopefully, I can find his classics in DVD to share to my children.
It's really Sad Day for Filipinos! Always remember him as John and his Purontong shorts.
ReplyDeleterip sir dolphy.. your are one of a kind and surely you will be miss.. sando.. puruntong shorts.. hahaha classic.. humble.. funny.. simple
ReplyDeleteRest in peace Dolphy, you will always be remembered..:)
ReplyDeleteDolphy left behind a legacy of giving smiles and laughter to Filipinos of all walks of life for many generations. An icon of Philippine popular culture, he will remain immortal in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteIt is time for him to have the last laugh.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't really THAT affected but it was definitely a sad event. I used to watch Home Along da Riles when I was a kid and I would remember laughing every episode. I guess it really was his time, he lived a full life, and he brought joy to most Filipinos.
ReplyDeletethere can only be one king of comedy.
ReplyDeleteUntil now everytime I see news about him I can't help but cry. He's too good! :'(
