MANILA, Philippines – Catholic bishops are sending their prayers for the eternal repose of Dolphy, with one bishop calling on God to appoint the Philippines’ comedy king as a court jester in heaven.
“We pray for the repose of his soul. His death reminds us that there is an end to our life. It is important that we discover and develop the talents the Lord had given us for the service of others and thank Him,” said Cubao Bishop Honesto Ongtioco in a report from CBCP News.
Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, former president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, said Dolphy was an inspiration to Filipinos.
“We thank God for the gift of Dolphy who served the country with his more than 2009 films, making all kinds of viewers cry and laugh through their shared experiences in life. He was a classic entertainer. May he rest in peace,” he said.
Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes said: “I and many of my clergy are saddened by the death of the comedy king. We pray that the Lord will bring him soon to His kingdom and appoint Dolphy as His court jester to make heaven a merrier state.” [Source]

For a moment I thought “Dolphy” was a bottlenose dolphin, what better spirit to be the court jester of Heaven?

Now that makes “Three of U>S (usual sinners) in the race for that spot and although in reality, because of your blog, that makes you the most likely to succeed butt, “I” mean, but don’t forget that sinner vic and salvage are still in the race spiritually speaking that is!
What do you say Panda Rosa! You also interested in the race http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERW8z8Y6MHk
to heaven’s gate and if so remember what Jesus said in so many words that we must heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out demons. We must do this FREELY cause you have received FREELY so you must give freely of “IT”!
I hear ya salvage! Give “IT” freely? Are we talking about heavenly sex here and if so “I” want a piece of “IT”! Sorry butts, he must have been talking about “His Saintly Butt Cells” then again “Jesus” never existed and if he did then he was nothing but a LIAR and a trouble make her! Didn’t this so called imaginary Jesus say in so many imaginary words, that HE’s the king of Catholic penis and/or is that King of peter’s spiritual heavenly cells so that must make him ahead of sinner vic and you also Jeff as the most likely Heaven’s Court Jester if they even exist that is? I have nothing to worry about cause if this Jesus was for real, didn’t your so call “Jesus” tell U>S (usual sinners) in so many words to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute ya? All “I”M” really doing is keeping my enemies close and my retards even closer! 🙂

Yes, the Philippines is in mourning…and many people watched a funeral mass for the public on TV.
He made us laugh, and in a country where we face earthquakes, poverty, landslides, typhoons and dengue fever, that says a lot.
But he wasn’t exactly a “perfect” Catholic by American standards: his common law wife and most of the 18 kids he has had from several women were at the mass…
reminds me of the quip: We Filipinos have family values: we take care of all our families.
