Dolphy: Huwag kayong mag-alala, I’m okay
“Huwag kayong mag-alala. I’m okay.”
Thus said Comedy King Dolphy in a "TV Patrol" video message aired on Monday, April 2.
Dolphy who'll turn 84 in July also thanked those who are continuously praying for his good health.
“Sa mga kapwa ko artista at kasama sa industriya, sa aking mga kapamilya, mga kapatid, mga kaibigan, at mga sumusuporta sa akin, gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa patuloy ninyong pagdarasal na higit nagpapalakas sa akin ngayon,” he said.
He added, “Gustong-gusto ko kayong makapiling. Pero nagpapalakas pa ako ngayon.”
According to the “TV Patrol” report, the video message aims to belie rumors about Dolphy’s health.
'In good spirits'
In late February, during the thanksgiving press conference for “Budoy,” Dolphy’s long-time partner Zsa Zsa Padilla admitted that the 83-year-old comedian is “not in the pink of health.”
“May mga pinagdadaanan ako. Kahit papaano eh you've been hearing rumors, di ba? The past few months have been very difficult for my family. Alam naman nila na si Dolphy, aside from being 83, he's not in the pink of health,” Zsa Zsa said.
She added, “He's hanging on there. He's in good spirits kasi. He's home and we are doing all the best to take good care of him.”
A few days after Zsa Zsa’s interview, Vandolph, Dolphy’s son with actress Alma Moreno, said his father is “doing good.” “He’s okay. Iyon lang ang masasabi ko. Baka sooner or later, makikita rin natin siya,” he added. He also explained that Zsa Zsa was emotional during the “Budoy” press conference probably because “(siya) ang laging kasama ni Papa. Siya ang nakakakawitness nang nangyayari.”
“Pero if you see my daddy right now, nakikita ko he's okay naman. Siguro 'yung kay tita eh naipon lang ever since before," Vandolph said.
