Blah Blah Blogs: Paalam Pidol

by Freely Abrigo

Indeed it really hurts my heart to see the passing of the King of Comedy. Dolphy or Rodolfo Vera Quizon has been part of so many generations with unparalleled comedy which gave him the title of "King of Comedy".  He made hundreds of movies, TV shows and countless fans that have gained him respect and love. As a kid of the 90s, my memories of him is his role as Kevin Cosme of Home Along the Riles. 

Though I have not seen all of his film (mostly clips from his movies in the 50s), he is considered a "National Treasure"  for his contributions in the industry. Alongside FPJ, he shaped Philippine cinema with his roles from almost all profession and even gender. He is also the sole actor who was able to have a Darna movie.

Coming from a family of celebrities, the daughter of the Divine Diva Zsazsa Padilla and the King of Comedy Doplhy, and the sister of multi-talented  Karylle Tatlonghari. I was able to first hear about her songs in her launch in Teatrino. And since I already had her CD, let me treat fans of Zia Quizon with a CD giveaway after the jump!

Other songs in the album includes "Smile", "So Much In Love", "Mambobola" and "Simple Girl".  And actually she is still in school while promoting the album and also performing weekly on ASAP 2012.
