Hats off for the Philippine's Comedy King - Dolphy

I dont think no one in the Philippines know about Dolphy or should I say 90% of the Filipino's (born and raised in the Philippines) knew the comedy king. A well loved comedy actor passed away Tuesday at 8:34 p.m., at the Makati Medical Center for multiple organ failure.



He stared for 200 movies and garnered numerous awards.

 I think he is also well loved with his daring gay role. There are numerous gay roles but Markova and the Comfort Gay is the one that I loved the most.


 He is truly a remarkable actor.

In every man's success is a women. Very true! I found this photo of him in an article published in GMA NEWS Online.


 Good bye Dolphy!

This is really sad news! I'm not familiar with his work, but he seems very talented. Are those all women he's actually been with? For someone who played a gay guy a lot, that's very impressive. XD Anyway, RIP Dolphy. Nice post!
