MANILA, Philippines – It’s a moment as iconic as the King of Comedy’s memorable performances in Philippine cinema.
On the occasion of Dolphy’s birth anniversary today, July 25, a marionette closely resembling the widely celebrated comedian was “introduced” to his widow, Zsa Zsa Padilla, at the Museo Pambata where a statue of the comedy king also stands.
That morning was also an occasion for the statue’s blessing as attended by Dolphy’s children.
The singer-actress was all smiles as she shook hands with “Dolphy the Puppet” or “Dolphy-Puppet,” who has his own Facebook page.
The month of July is a time of commemoration for the family. Dolphy, whose real name is Rodolfo Vera Quizon Sr., passed away on July 10 last year at the age of 83, amid an outpouring of sympathy among his colleagues in show business and the public at large.
Today would have been his 85th birthday. This year, his familiy observed his first death anniversary in simple ceremonies.
