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.

    crying while reading, esp sa part na minention nya un name ni Karylle, coz its true na for how many years na magkasama si Zsa at Dolphy never na meet ni K si Mang Pidol personally. But when K mentioned in her recent interview na she's in the hospital with her mom, i found it very touching, finally K, u forgive your mom and mang Pidol. Good for all of you..

    zsa zsa is very lucky to have a man who loves her so dearly, most people dont find that kind of love in a lifetime.. 20 years life spent together is a lot better than a lifetime of misery.. It's not everyday that we meet or see a genuinely good human being like him, he's very rare, walang masabing masama tungkol sa kanya. RIP tito dolphy, you will be missed.

    di naman siguro nakikiride, dolphy is a legend, a national treasure. lahat ng pinoy napatawa niya from several generations. talagang may marka siya sa puso ng pinoy. i still remember watching his old movies, when we were kids - black and white pa. it really is sad to hear he is gone.

    Zsa Zsa will be so physically and emotionally numb after the service while she needs to entertain people sympathyzing with her, she will only feel her loss after when she goes home and she will not find him and when she folds his clothes or find items that belongs to him, that is the hardest, she will miss him more and more as the days go by, the kids will miss him in a couple of months but they will move on, I grieve for Zsa Zsa

    Totoo yan. Iba ang pagmo-mourn ng ka-partner mo sa buhay, iba din yung pag-mo-mourn ng mga anak ni Dolphy. Tama mas mararamdaman ni Zsazsa yung lungkot kapag mag-isa na lang siya at may mga bagay na makakapagpa-alala kay Dolphy. Maski yung mga anak ni Dolphy, mararamdaman nila ang lungkot kapag nag-iisa sila. Daraanan nila talga yung grieving process at hindi mawawala sa isipan mo yung taong nawala at minahal mo.....

    Di pa yan maramdaman ng pamilya pero ang lungkot pagtapos ng libing pag wala na ang ibang tao at tahimik na lng sila...especially si Zsa Zsa na uuwi sa bahay nila ni Dolphy at makikita nya lahat ng mga memories nila dun. Kahit pano alam na nilang darating ito pero syempre sino bang makapaghahanda sa passing away ng isang minamahal?

    I guess, ito ang nangyayari ngayon kay Eric since siya ang naatasang maging spokesperson ng pamilya, he has to control his emotion when facing the media.

    Naiyak na naman ako sobrang laking kawalan si Dolphy sa industriya pero kailangan din natin sya i let go para naman makapagpahinga na sya. Condolences to the Quizon family, kids, relatives, love ones and friends. Rest in Peace Dolphy.

    When they eloped in 1988, everyone thought di magtatagal ang samahan nila. That Dolphy will also tire of her just like his many women…and that she chose to be with him for the security he can provide with his money. Ang daming tumuligsa, and daming nag-doubt, and must admit isa kami sa mga taong yun. But they proved us all wrong. And they proved the cliché right that once you find your soul mate it may not be in the right packaging, in the right conventional mode…but that you must pursue to be with that person despite what others may think because that alone can give you the feeling of being whole. Tama si Zsa Zsa, malaki din dapat ang pasasalamat sa mga anak – lalo na kay Karylle and Vandolph – for the acceptance and the understanding they gave.

    TFC subscriber here, just watching TV Patrol now. Seeing Zsa Zsa, I really really salute her. She loves Dolphy so much. They stayed together for over 2 decades. You don't have to be married to be happy with your partner. They proved it. People were bashing her telling her she's too old why is she still in ASAP or she had way too many botox. This woman was just working hard for him. To be able to provide the best medical care for him but some low life people just had nothing better to do but bashed her. You never heard anything from her. She kept quiet. Now it makes me wonder kung ano na ang nasa isip ng mga bashers na ito. We don't always know what is behind a curtain, we don't know everything. What they were going through when he was sick only them know the real hardships. Let them live in peace and let them grieve minus anymore controversies or anymore bashing. Let him rest in piece. I don't know him personally but lahat tayo nabigyan nya ng oras para patawanin.

    A beautiful and very heartwarming eulogy. Nakakaiyak naman. My condolences to the entire Quizon family, most especially to Zsa Zsa. May you take great comfort in the love and wonderful memories of Dolphy. The love you shared was amazing! Maraming salamat po, Mang Dolphy, for the laughter and joy that you brought into our lives. One of my fondest childhood memories was watching John 'n Marsha. You sure brought the house down with laughter and left us feeling good afterward. May you rest in God's peace and presence.

    Pinagdaanan ko din itong pinagdadaanan ng pamilya Quizon, kaya alam kong napakahirap at nung mabalitaan kong namatay na si Mang Dolphy, hindi ko din napigilan ang umiyak. Bumalik yung sakit at ala-ala na mawalan ng mahal sa buhay......
