Dolphy...
Unbeatable
Comedy
King |
|
|
|

Whenever
Epy
Quizon,
son
of
Dolphy,
is
told
that
he
would
be
the
next
Comedy
King,
he
always
shakes
his
head.
Says
Epy,
“I’m
very
flattered
when
people
say
that
but
I
refuse
to
believe
I
can
fill
the
shoes
of
my
father.
There
will
never
be
another
Dolphy.
He
has
six
decades
of
entertainment.
That’s
a
record
and
a
hard
job
to
do.
Hindi
pa
uso
ang
pelikula,
nandoon
na
ang
Daddy
ko.”

“Ang
tagal
ko
nang
narito
sa
industriyang
ito.
Nagpapasalamat
ako
dahil
binibigyan
pa
rin
ako
ng
pagkakataong
makapagpaligaya
ng
maraming
tao.”

Who
doesn’t
know
Dolphy?
Practically
every
one
from
young
to
old
is
aware
of
how
this
swell
dancer
of
“bodabil”
endeared
himself
to
Filipinos
of
all
social
classes.
If
you
don’t
know
the
name
Dolphy,
it’s
either
you’ve
been
living
in
another
country
or
even
another
planet.
After
dancing
and
entertaining
in
Clover Theater,
he
played
small
roles
in
the
movies
produced
by
Sampaguita
Pictures
and
then
he
moved
up
to
do
the
lead
roles
in
comedy
classics
such
as
Jack
En
Jill.
Dolphy
learned
the
ropes
of
movie
production
and
started
producing
his
own
film
projects
under
his
own
venture
he
named
RVQ
(for
Rodolfo
V.
Quizon,
Dolphy’s
full
name.)
Movie
enthusiasts
remember
many
‘vintage’
or
classic
Dolphy
films
such
as
Facifica
Falayfay,
Ang
Tatay
Kong
Nanay,
John
En
Marsha,
John
En
Marsha
sa
America,
My
Heart
Belong
to
Daddy,
Enteng
the
Dragon,
among
many,
many,
many
more.
Vandolph
has
a
lot
of
his
father’s
movies
from
the
1970s
till
now
and
one
of
these
made
quite
an
impression
on
him.
“If
I’m
going
to
remake
a
movie
of
my
Dad’s,
it
would
have
to
be
Omeng
Satanasia.
Dalawang
role
kasi
iyon
kasi
kambal.
Ibang-iba
ang
bawat
character!”
Dolphy
also
holds
an
impressive
record
for
television
as
well.
From
the
1960s
until
today,
he
continues
to
star
in
hit
comedy
programs.
Here’s
just
a
partial
list
of
the
many
television
shows
he’s
done
through
the
years:
“Buhay
Artista,”
“John
En
Marsha,”
“Plaza
1891,”
“Home
Along
Da
Riles”
and
“Home
Along
Da
Airport”…
aside
from
other
TV
specials, some
of
which
he
also
produced.
Today,
Dolphy
headlines
“Quizon
Avenue,”
for
ABS-CBN.
Unlike
“John
En
Marsha”
and
“Home
Along
Da
Riles”
and
“Home
Along
Da
Airport,”
“Quizon
Avenue”
is
not
a
sitcom.
ABS-CBN
describes
it
as a
“quick-paced
comedy…
as
gags,
spoofs
and
musical
sketches
come
together
in a
hilarious
weekly
hour.”
Al
Quinn,
Dolphy’s
longtime
collaborator
is
the
director.
“Natutuwa
kami
sa
format,”
says
Dolphy
“kasi
parang
pinagsama-sama
lahat
ng
mga
shows
na
nagawa
ko
from
sitcom
to
variety.”
He
adds
that
it
reminds
him
of
“Buhay
Artista”
so
it
also
makes
him
feel
sentimental.
“Ang
tagal
ko
nang
narito
sa
industriyang
ito,”
Dolphy
declares.
“Nagpapasalamat
ako
dahil
binibigyan
pa
rin
ako
ng
pagkakataong
makapagpaligaya
ng
maraming
tao.”
