On Twitter, the hash tags #PaalamDolphy and #SalamatDolphy continue to trend as fans and industry colleagues alike tweeted their thoughts as the Comedy King was buried on Sunday afternoon—with many of them simply quoting Zsa Zsa Padilla’s last message to her departed partner, “I love you, lovey ko, till we meet again.”
