Tribute to Mang Dolphy

The most memorable trivia I remember about Dolphy is his love for women and food.

In one interview, if my memory serves me right, it was with Arnold Clavio, Dolphy told an anecdote about his favorite food of all time, Kare-Kare. He even cared to emphasize with "maanghang-anghang na bagoong".

RIP Dolphy

Dolphy, Rodolfo Vera Quizon in real life, passed away at the age of 83 tonight while being confined at Makati Medical Center (MMC).

Heralded as the Philippines' King of Comedy, Quizon has been confined in the said hospital for several weeks due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

In its official statement, MMC said, "We would like to inform you that Mr. Rodolfo "Dolphy" Quizon passed away at 20:34 due to multiple organ failure secondary to complications brought about by severe pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute renal failure."

RIP Dolphy. Thank you for bringing laughter in our lives.
