Dolphy worried on 'death' rumors

Comedy King Dolphy admits that he gets worried every time malicious rumors that he was “dying” or is “dead” erupts, saying his family gets affected by it.

“Talagang ang daming pumapatay sa akin! Bakit nag-aapura kayo? Darating tayo diyan,” Dolphy quipped during a recent press conference.

Turning serious, Dolphy admits he gets worried every time such rumor erupts.

“Nagwo-worry ako sa mga anak ko sa abroad, tawagan nang tawagan, nag-iiyakan na kung minsan. Pero sa awa naman ng Diyo, e, nandito pa ako.”

“Madalas ‘yon. Ilang taon na ‘yan. Minsan sa Hong Kong nakalagay sa front page, ‘Dolphy dead.’ Yumumuko ako sa kotse. Sabi ko, ‘Huwag tayong makita ng mga tao, patay na ako.’ Yun pala kapag binuksan mo ang diyaryo ulit, ‘Or alive.’ Maraming beses na akong pinatay.

The 82-year-old comedian will soon be releasing his first solo album which he considers an important part of his legacy.

The album “Handog ni Pidol: A Lifetime of Music And Laughter” has “The Way You Look Tonight;” “What A Wonderful World;” “You Make Me Feel So Young;” sung with Zsa Zsa Padilla; “If,” which Zsa Zsa and Dolphy say is their themesong; and a lot more.
