Naging madamdamin ang pagbibigay ng eulogy ni Zsa Zsa Padilla sa kanyang yumaong partner na si Dolphy kagabi, July 11, sa Dolphy Theater ng ABS-CBN.

Ito ang unang pagkakataon na nasilayan at napakinggan muli ng publiko si Zsa Zsa mula nang ma-confine sa Makati Medical Center ang Comedy King noong June 9 dahil sa karamdaman nitong chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD).

Isang buwan pagkatapos ng kanyang pagkaka-ospital ay binawian ng buhay si Dolphy noong Martes, July 10, sa edad na 83.

Kagabi, sa isinagawang tribute para sa yumaong Hari ng Komedya, ay binalikan ni Zsa Zsa ang makulay na pag-iibigan nila ni Dolphy sa loob ng mahigit dalawang dekada.

Paakyat pa lang siya sa podium ay tumutulo na ang luha ni Zsa Zsa.

“Maraming salamat. This is such a beautiful service,” simula ng tinaguriang Divine Diva at huling babae sa buhay ng Comedy King.

“Come to me and I will give you rest… Basil, napaka-inspiring niyan,” sabi pa niya bilang pagtukoy sa inawit ng singer na si Basil Valdez, ang “Lift Up Your Hands.”

DOLPHY’S BATTLE. Pagkatapos nito ay inilahad ni Zsa Zsa ang pinagdaanan ng kanilang pamilya matapos nilang malaman ang karamdaman ni Dolphy.

“He battled COPD for about six or eight years.

“Nag-umpisa ‘yon na nagkakaroon siya ng walking pneumonia. Hindi pa namin maintindihan kung ano ‘yon, bakit masama yung pakiramdam niya, wala naman siyang lagnat, ganyan.

“Isang beses sa isang taon nagpupunta siya sa ospital, hanggang dalawang beses sa isang taon, tatlong beses… padalas nang padalas.

“Hanggang two and a half years ago, sinabi na sa amin na Stage 4 na siya ng COPD, kailangan naming kausapin lahat ng mga anak niya.

“At mula noon talaga, naramdaman ko na talagang isang tunay kaming pamilya.

“Posible naman pala na kahit yung mga anak ni Dolphy ay nanggaling sa iba-ibang nanay, e, puwede naman kaming magkaisa.”

Labing-walo ang anak ni Dolphy mula sa anim na babaeng nakarelasyon niya; kabilang na si Zsa Zsa kunsaan mayroon siyang dalawang anak—sina Nicole at Zia.

    "They say true love never have a happy ending, it's because true love never ends." Ang swerte ni Ms. Zsa Zsa kasi talaga naranasan nya kung pano magmahal at mahalin ng tunay. Marami sa atin, will spend a lifetime finding that....and most of us...hindi yan matatagpuan.

    They may not have the blessing, but these two loved each other sooo much, and we witnessed the genuine love Zsazsa showed Dolphy and vice versa. They're one of those lucky people who found genuine love. RIP again Mang Dolphy. Kaya mo yan Ms. Zsazsa...

    buong buhay ko napatawa ako ni dolphy pati mga anak ko na dito sa states pinanganak lumaki din na nakagisnan sya at nalungkot sa kanyang pagpanaw, ganoon ka diverse ang galing nya sa komedya pati mga batang hindi nagsasalita ngunit nakaka-intindi ng tagalog ay naaaliw nya!!!GREAT GREAT LOSS SA PILIPINONG TABING...

    very touching ang eulogy ni zsa zsa. i can't help myself crying when she sang through the years. it really touched my heart. i know it's too painful for the family to bear the death of Dolphy. but we have to accept the truth that everyone of us will go anytime without our knowing when will it be. for me, it is worth remembering the achievements and the contributions of Dolphy in the tv and movie industry. i know everybody would like to thank him for the gift of laughter he gave to each one of us. you are gone but will never be forgotten...

    Zsazsa has redeemed herself from the image she has portrayed since she lived with Dolphy. I, for one, has stopped watching her shows and switch channels whenever I see her on tv. She has proved that love is possible for the kind of relationship she had with Dolphy.
