National Day of Remembrance for Dolphy, Philippine Showbiz's King of Comedy


Some say that Friday the 13th is freaky.  Today, 13 July 2012, is Friday the 13th.    It isn't freaky but quite special, at least to Filipinos!  Malacanan Palace declared today as the National Day of Remembrance for Dolphy - Philippine Showbiz's Comedy King.  Pidol (i.e., an anagram of his name as some fondly calls him) passed away at the age of 83 last evening of Tuesday, 10 July 2012.  From such humble beginnings, this man in his more than 5 decades of making people laugh, has become a Filipino icon short of a conferment for the title of National Artist.  So, just what do we do in a day of remembrance?
