Dolphy's passing really left a palpable void in our hearts.
One of my best friends, one of the coolest people I know, texted me last Sunday, as he was watching the King of Comedy's funeral, and mentioned his surprise at how affected he was by what he saw. He realized then that for so many Filipinos who grew up from the '50s to the '90s, Dolphy was an integral part of our weekly television habits; in many respects, Rodolfo Vera Quizon almost was our second father -- and for not a few Pinoys, despite his human frailties, Dolphy was the 'ideal dad.'

LABET! While there is a brow-floor below which I could cringe, generally, basta huwag lang from Star Cinema or ABS-CBN, Pinoy humor is essential. Catch TARZAN VS TANSAN with Dolphy and Vic Vargas + Chichay and Panchito == over the top!
