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!
