Dolphy's condition - end of an Era

If the discussion is about "the end of an era" then I would surely agree with you my friend, even if he recovers, he and it would never be the same again. He is simply irreplaceable , of course other comedians will rise up to that level in the future but they have to think of another style cause Dolphy is Dolphy, the same way the Michael Jackson era ended, lots of people can also dance well but they have to think of another style that would make them rise up and stand out and never copy what has been or is already a legend in his or her own right.

eventhough he is playboy and he is a father of multiple children to different mothers we cant deny that he is not a bad father. yeah he have a son who had been in prison but he is not ashamed of any of his children and grandchildren. he is proud of all of them and he acknowledges all of them, he help them to have a career in the showbiz industry. he built a Dynasty of award winning actors and singers out of his children. He have a long legacy and career. He is in good terms with his exwives and all of his children loves him. The entertainment industry as a whole loves him and see him as an legend.

Well it happens that Dolphy is one unique individual that has surpassed many trials in life. Being one of the biggest celebrity that has achieved many things in life. It is hard to really let go until it is really there. As we can see in the reports that he still is trying to get back. But I guess you are right in saying we all will hit the dust at some point in time. And Dolphy is in such a situation. I guess that is the natural reaction of being a family member never give up until the day that the body really gave up already. In their situation, it looks like they have enough resources to spend to prolong the life and maybe prayers work for him.

Hmmmmm....I'm thinking of the other thing...He has made us all happy. That has been a lot from him.

and what i heard from the news on the radio is: more and more Filipinos are rooting Dolphy, the Philippines's King of Comedy, to be named as a NATIONAL ARTIST as he still remains in critical conditional. recently, a party-list named Akap Bata urged the National Commission on Culture and the Arts and the Palace to give the award to the Comedy King. and to go with the flow, several politicians joined the cause. should we really push for a campaign just because someone is dying? honestly, Dolphy should have received that prestigious award years ago. losing to Carlo J. Caparas for the award is a big big joke. many had been awarded but are they really deserving to receive it? as for the other artists you mentioned not having the same treatment, well, my guess is, because not many film fans appreciate them more than Dolphy. but i agree those of the likes of Panchito deserves to be treated equal to the other REAL National Artists. just my opinion.

Sorry to say that Dolphy's case is progressive and no remedy. What the doctors are doing now is just prolonging his life. But ofcourse I wish that he will still be well. We in the family like him so much and even thought of him as we know him. My father, who doesn't like local or foreign movies, like him. Maybe because they are of the same age. I don't know the criteria of Artistic Award but I think Dolphy deserves it second to Nora Aunor. Dolphy's most films made us laugh and count his other TV shows liek John en Marsha

People i believe reacted differently to him because he was above par than those you have mentioned i believe. He was greater than them in my opinion, he created a difference in the Philippine cinema.. i hope he gets to have the rest he deserves, he looks so tired now..

dear LK, Aw, yah, I have read the news and it's been on the headlines since the comedy king was admitted to MDC. The award giving body should have given the award when he is still a bit healthy and mobile. What's the use of awarding him on his dying bed....duh...

Maybe that is because Dolphy is the comedy king while those other comedians doesn't have a king title with them. But, yes we should be praying for him since he is a good man and he has gave us many years of laughter. I believe he is getter better now, the power of prayer is really the best thing in the world.

I agree with you, the Comedy King is really old and must take the rest. He had done so many good things with his family and the showbiz industry. He deserves the National Artist award more than anyone else now. They should give that prior to his hospitalization and now that he is in a critical condition.
