Organizations- socio-civic are moving heaven and earth to make the late comedy king DOLPHY a national artist. What is your honest view on this issue?

Dolphy deserves to be a national artist. It is not usual for a person to stay in the show business for decades. But with the "cold" treatment the government is giving, I cannot help but to conclude that the president is not enthusiastic in giving the award. Maybe it was because of the fact that Dolphy opted to promote Villar during presidency campaigns. But these are just my personal inferences. I do not like the fact that the palace is eliminating their power and responsibility over selection process for national artist. I do not believe that the palace is truly incapable of influencing selection for national artist. If there's a true will, there is a way.

will you consider his having 5 women for his 18 children one criteria for him to become one of our national artist?
