Eric Quizon describes the autobiography of his father, Comedy King Dolphy (in photo): "It's a life story of my dad basically. It encapsulates 80 years of his life from childhood... You know, during the second World War, from the time he did radio, television, movies. From the time he lived-in with his first wife and had six kids, to the second, to the third and to Zsa Zsa."

"Reason niya kasi, marami na siyang nasaktan na ayaw na niyang masaktan muli. 'Yon ang naging reason niya and, actually, he's just fair to our mothers. And finally we decided, you know, instead of stories to tell, then people will still talk about it, we might as well use my own words to tell my story.

"Ako, ang tingin ko, hindi na muling masasaktan ang mga taong nasaktan noon kundi magkakalinawan. Ako kasi, lumalaking mayroong sakit na dinadala. Medyo alam ko ang dahilan; pero ang mali, dapat kinumpronta ko si Daddy. Matagal na ang problema at kailangan na hinintay ko pang gumawa ng libro para maintindihan ko pa yung problema naming dalawa. Medyo matagal-tagal ko siyang binitbit. It's clear now na kailangan lang pala naming mag-usap-usap. The book actually strengthened the relationship of the whole family," pahayag ni Epi.

TRIBUTE TO THE KING OF COMEDY. Nakausap din ng PEP ang pangulo ng ABS-CBN na si Ms. Charo Santos-Concio para alamin ang gagawin nilang special tribute para sa Hari ng Komedya.

"We want to honor Dolphy. We want to honor the man whose contribution, not only for the Philippine movie industry or Philippine television but... My God, this man made us laugh for more than half a century, di ba?

"I think it's just but right to pay tribute to his talent. We will show the man that is Dolphy through the years. It's his birthday and it's about time that the industry will pay tribute to the one great Dolphy," pahayag ng ABS-CBN lady chief.

Isang malaki at grandiosong special tribute titled The King of Comedy at 80 ang gagawin ng ABS-CBN na gaganapin sa Meralco Theater sa July 29 (Tuesday). Ito ay ipalalabas sa ABS-CBN sa susunod na Linggo, August 3, sa Sunday's Best.

Lalahukan ito ng lahat ng ABS-CBN talents mula sa iba't ibang henerasyon at sa finale, magsi-share mismo si Dolphy ng kanyang mga naging karansan at mga sentimiyento mula sa pinakamasaya hanggang sa pinakamalungkot na nangyari sa kanyang buhay.
