Diehard fans of the late Comedy King Rodolfo "Dolphy" Vera Quizon continued to linger at the Heritage Park in Taguig City early Monday, a day after the ace comedian was laid to rest.
While security remained tight at the memorial park Monday, the fans stayed overnight in hopes of a chance to approach Dolphy's grave, radio dzBB's Sam Nielsen reported.
"Hinihingi ko ang tarpaulin pero sabi ng security guard, sa management ‘yan," said a female fan from Manaoag in Pangasinan who had spent six days in the area.
The 38-year-old fan said she even wore a Dolphy-themed shirt for the last six days just to show her devotion.
Another female fan, 48, said she came all the way from Balanga in Bataan, and stayed overnight.
She said she even spent her birthday Sunday outside the Heritage Park just to sympathize with the ace comedian's loved ones.
"Aalis kami mamaya kaunti, mamayang hapon. At least mamaya masulyapan," she said.
The dzBB report said the park remained closed to the public early Monday. It added some of Dolphy's fans left behind a mess at the premises.
Dolphy died last July 10 at the Makati Medical Center, two weeks before he was to turn 84.
According to a statement released by the hospital, he succumbed to "multiple organ failure secondary to complications brought about by severe pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and acute renal failure."
He was buried at the Heritage Park Sunday afternoon, but his family allowed a public viewing of his remains for three days—the public viewing on the last day lasting until almost 11 p.m. –KG, GMA News
