President Noynoy Aquino III, released a statement on the passing of Dolphy. Mabuting tao si Dolphy, at kinatawan
niya ang karaniwang Pilipino: malalim magmahal, masayahin, may respeto
sa kapwa, at handang harapin ang mga hamon ng tadhana. Nagmula siya sa
isang henerasyong dumaan sa maraming pagsubok—at sa pakikipagsapalaran
ay natutong maging mapagpakumbaba, matapat, at matulungin. Hindi
kailanman niya tinalikuran ang mga kaibigan, at ang sambayanang naging
bukal ng kanyang mga tagumpay.
Sa loob ng mahabang panahon, ipinakita
sa atin ni Dolphy na anumang pagsubok ay may katuwang na pag-asa at
ligaya; mulat siyang anumang problema ay mapangingibabawan ng positibong
pagtanaw sa kapalaran. Binago niya hindi lamang ang kaniyang
industriya, kundi maging ang pambansang kamalayan: sa pamamagitan ng
kaniyang sining, pinalawak ni Dolphy ang ating pananaw, at binigyan tayo
ng kakayahang suriin, pahalagahan, at hanapan ng ngiti ang mga
pang-araw-araw na pangyayari sa buhay ng bawat Pilipino.
Nakikiisa ako at ang aking pamilya,
sampu ng ating mga kasamahan sa gobyerno, sa pagluluksa ng Pamilya
Quizon ngayong gabi. Ang pagpanaw ni Rodolfo Quizon Sr.—ang nag-iisang
Hari ng Komedya—ay tiyak na nagdudulot ng lumbay sa isang bansang
matagal niyang pinasaya.
Manila Mayor, Alfredo Lim, directed establishments and government offices to put the Philippine Flag in a half mast. Mayor Lim awarded Dolphy "Gawad Diwa ng Lahi" as part of the celebration of the 441st Araw ng Maynila
