Dolphy, the Philippine King of Comedy, passed away last night, Tuesday, July 10, after a long battle with chronic lung disease. Dolphy, who was confined at the Makati Medical Center since June, died at 8:34pm due to multiple organ failure and secondary complications brought about by severe pneumonia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and acute renal failure. Dolphy starred in more than 200 films during his 66-year career. His first film was in 1946 at the age of 19. Immediately after news of his death broke on Twitter, there was an outpouring of love from Filipino fans online.
