MANILA, Philippines – Catholic bishops are sending their prayers for the eternal repose of Dolphy, with one bishop calling on God to appoint the Philippines’ comedy king as a court jester in heaven.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pray for the repose of his soul. His death reminds us that there is an end to our life. It is important that we discover and develop the talents the Lord had given us for the service of others and thank Him,\u201d said Cubao Bishop Honesto Ongtioco in a report from CBCP News.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, former president of the Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines, said Dolphy was an inspiration to Filipinos.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank God for the gift of Dolphy who served the country with his more than 2009 films, making all kinds of viewers cry and laugh through their shared experiences in life. He was a classic entertainer. May he rest in peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes said: \u201cI and many of my clergy are saddened by the death of the comedy king. We pray that the Lord will bring him soon to His kingdom and appoint Dolphy as His court jester to make heaven a merrier state.” [Source<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
