Maybelyn dela Cruz: Dolphy has the biggest heart

FORMER child star Maybelyn dela Cruz visited the remains of the Comedy King Dolphy at the Heritage Park in Taguig City Saturday afternoon.

Maybelyn, now a Councilor in Dagupan City, remembered all the words of wisdom of the comedian and their unforgettable days while doing "Home Along Da Riles."

"Laging may pasalubong kami sa set. Hindi siyang nahihiyang magpakita ng emotion at nagsasabi yan ng I love you. And kahit sino ka pa, napaparamdam niya sa iyo na mahalaga ka sa kanya."

Maybelyn played as Nova Villa's only daughter in the Home Along series that lasted for 15 years.

She said when she entered politics, Dolphy also supported her.

Maybelyn said she will forever cherish the good words, laughter and hard work of Dolphy.

“Siyempre masakit, masakit yung (pagpanaw niya). Kasi siya yung parang tatay ko talaga sa industriya. Wala akong ibang nilalapitan sa mga importanteng desisyon (kundi siya).”

“Gina-guide niya talaga kami kasi mga bata pa kami when we started. Yung mga pangaral niya, eh nasa puso naming lahat iyon.”

"Hindi naman ako tatagal sa ganitong industriya kung wala siya. Siya yung nag mold sa amin, nagbigay ng inspirasyon. (Siya ang nagturo) na pangalagaan at pahalagahan kung anong ginagawa namin, yung kinakatayuan namin."

Maybelyn also noted Dolphy’s humility despite his stature in the industry.

"He has the biggest heart. Sobrang bait na tao, kaya ganoon din karami ang taong pumupunta sa kanya gabi-gabi. Mahal na mahal ka namin, 'Tay. Mahal na mahal ka namin. Maraming salamat po sa lahat."

Dolphy's interment is scheduled on Sunday afternoon at the Heritage Park in Taguig City. (Sunnex)
