MANILA, Philippines - Hours after his father passed away and countless tributes aired on TV, printed in newspapers and posted online, son Ronnie Quizon posted the following arrangements on his Facebook page for the public viewing of Dolphy’s remains, as well as certain special requests from the family.
Unless indicated, it is presumed that the venue of the public viewing is at Heritage Park where the late comedy king’s remains were brought from the Makati Medical Center, where he died of multiple organ failure at 8:34 pm Tuesday after over a month in hospital.
Here’s the complete text of the younger Quizon’s post.
“So sorry if I haven’t been responding to your messages, emails, texts and calls, as I’m still a bit busy attending to my dad and family.
I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can. Meanwhile, here are some important announcements and requests:
1. PLEASE WEAR WHITE FOR MY DAD. IT'S MY FATHER’S FAVORITE COLOR.
2. Instead of flowers, please make donations to the DOLPHY AID Para Sa Pinoy Foundation. My father would prefer that you help him help other Filipinos.
3. ABS-CBN DAY - (Wednesday, July 11, 2012)
My father’s body will be at the Dolphy Theater in ABS-CBN from 1:00 pm today until 3:00 am tomorrow. The early hours will be for ABS-CBN employees and other Kapamilya, and our family and friends. ABS-CBN will open its doors for public viewing starting 9:00 pm tonight, until 3:00 am tomorrow. After which, my father will be brought back to the Heritage Park.

8. For my friends who wish to make arrangements with us, please feel free to contact me. I will try to accommodate you as best and as soon as I can.
9. SMILE! That’s what my father asked from all of you. He would appreciate it if you smile when you think of him, and to smile at someone to make his day brighter too. To quote his favorite song...... “ YOU’LL FIND THAT LIFE IS STILL WORTHWHILE, IF YOU JUST SMILE.” ~ Charlie Chaplin
OUR FAMILY CONTINUES TO THANK THE NATION FOR ALL THE LOVE. WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU TOO.
Smiling, though my heart is aching.....................
Ronnie”
