MANILA, Philippines – Stars and fans alike converged at the wake of Rodolfo “Dolphy” Quizon Sr on Thursday, July 12, when the late comedian’s family began the public viewing of his remains at the Heritage Park, Taguig City.
The public viewing took place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. It was followed by a Mass and several eulogies for Dolphy at around 8 p.m.
During the Mass for Dolphy, presiding priest Fr Larry Faraon said Dolphy’s humor teaches humanity. “A sense of humor is always a sign of being human,” Faraon said, commending the Philippines’ Comedy King.
TV actress Claudine Barretto, who worked with Dolphy in the comedy show Home Along D’ Riles, said he is a man she calls “tatay.” “Marami akong natutunan sa kanya. Habambuhay akong magpapasalamat sa kanya,” Barretto said. (I learned a lot from him. I will forever be grateful to him.)
Sharon Cuneta, called the Megastar, commended Dolphy for loving his long-time partner, Zsa-Zsa Padilla, who was half the comedian’s age.
“Pinakakinaiingitan ko ‘yung ipinaglaban ka niya. Talagang mahal ka niya,” Cuneta told Padilla. (I envy the most how he fought for you. He really loves you.)
