Dolphy and Panchito's trademark comedy is highly exceptional. I think the reason why we all mourn so terribly today is because we realize that their kind of comedy will never really happen anymore in our lifetime, what with the kind of comedians we have right now.
I mean, come on, will you compare a Vice Ganda with a Dolphy? No comparison. One is crass, the other one is class. Or a Chocolait with a Panchito? One is all face no substance, the other one is all skill and simply terrific.
Probably, in all of our comedians today, it is only Vic Sotto that understood Dolphy's art. All the rest are either apprentices or downright, poor copycats.
Comedians are first and foremost, entertainers. If you find someone that only makes you laugh because of their face, that person is not a comedian. If you laugh because they shared a joke or just twitched in the right way, that's a comedian.
Dolphy was a painter par excellence. He was able to paint the most simple of things. That makes us laugh because our complicated minds saw those paintings in joke form. We never even realized that what Dolphy was doing during his heyday was show us, our simpleton side, the kind that makes us ordinary inspite of our riches or social status.
This art form dies with Dolphy and Panchito, but lives on in the web. Watch this excellent piece of artwork which Dolphy and Panchito represented during their day.

Eat Bulaga spearheads national bayanihan
I just can't help but cry. My tears are of joy.
Entertainment programs in the country are being transformed. Yes, they are. And they are transforming themselves as vehicles for people empowerment.
And Eat Bulaga is leading the charge. Or, I might say, Eat Bulaga is spearheading the movement for change.
Today, Eat Bulaga helped three Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW), those expatriated from Libya.
Tito, Vic and Joey gave these distressed brothers of ours, a concert in tribute to the thousands of brave Filipinos affected by the war in Libya.
More than 55,000 Filipinos have been expatriated from the war-torn country. More OFWs are expected to return home, since the turmoil in the Middle East is expected to blaze some more. Saudi Arabia yesterday has just encountered a civil unrest. There are more than a million Filipinos working in that Arab state.
I can't help myself but cry. I am a former Overseas Filipino Worker. And I know how hard it is to leave your loved ones to live in a foreign country just to earn some dough.
Yesterday, I conducted a talk with several CESO's, heads of different communication departments of the government. I told them the reason why I went back. I went back to share whatever knowledge and skills I learned abroad to help our country.
I hope those Pinoys who came from the Middle East be given the chance to share their knowledge for the benefit of our country. My kababayans, it is time to go home.
Eat Bulaga gave some financial assistance to some of our distressed kababayans, living heroes yes, some of who were abandoned by the government in their times of need.
I urged Eat Bulaga to continue helping our fellow Filipinos. It is time for that great Kabayanihan spirit within us to show itself and uplift us from our present state.
