Dolphy Quizon Death

Dolphy Quizon's son Eric has released a statement regarding the death of the "King of Comedy."

Check it out below:

"My father Dolphy left at 8:34pm (following) a cardiac arrest.

He lived a full life. He's at rest. He's at peace. He knew as he was going how much the country loved him. He knew how everyone was praying for him. And if he could, he would have stayed just so he could thank you personally.

But where his spirit was strong, his body had so weakened. He had to go.

On behalf of my brothers and sisters, on behalf of everyone who loved him, on behalf of Zsa Zsa, my brother, Ronnie, my sister Dona, my sister Kit, we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Pray for his eternal repose and in his honor, please smile at the person standing next to you.

Heaven is a happier place with him there. And for us whom he's left behind, comedy is dead, but long live comedy."
