MANILA - A public auction featuring over 30 real estate properties passed down by the late Comedy King Rodolfo "Dolphy" Quizon will be held on January, son Eric Quizon revealed.
In an interview on "Aquino & Abunda Tonight" aired Friday, the younger Quizon explained that the decision to auction off the inherited properties was part of an initiative to raise funds for the planned museum honoring his father.
"We've been trying to liquidate some of the assets kasi nga kailangan din namin ng pera. Kung baga we have plans na i-develop 'yung mga properties pero siyempre kailangan namin ng magkaroon ng pera," he shared.
The Dolphy Aid para sa Pinoy Foundation is also set to receive part of proceeds, according to Quizon.
The Dolphy Estate Auction will be held live at the Dolphy Theater. It will be open to those who register before January 31.
Those interested will need to contact HMR Auctions.
Among the properties that will be sold off are those in Batangas, Antipolo, Cavite, Samar, Baguio, and Bulacan, among others.
Dolphy, whose body of work in the entertainment industry spans decades, succumbed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on July 10, 2012. He was 83.
