President Benigno Aquino declared under Proclamation No. 433 that Friday, July 13, 2012 is the National Day of Remembrance for the late Philippine king of comedy Rodolfo Vera Quizon, to his millions of fans, Dolphy. The sad news broke out on social media re Dolphy’s death last Tuesday after he succumbed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
In a press statement, “The President issued the proclamation in recognition of how the nation deeply feels the passing of Dolphy. In the proclamation, the President cited Dolphy as a man who will live on in Philippine cultural history—and in the hearts of many of his countrymen. President Aquino in his proclamation said that every milestone that Dolphy marked in a career that spanned decades, raised the standards of the entertainment industry, and strengthened our cultural identity, giving innumerable aspirants an example to look up to.”

Malacanang is citing Dolphy’s contributions to Philippine culture, arts and entertainment as well as his philanthropic and generosity towards Filipinos in general.
However, July 13, 2012 is NOT a non-working holiday. People have clamored for Malacanang to declare a Day of Mourning but as Dolphy’s family has expressed, Dolphy would want to be remembered for his life and not passing. We all want to celebrate his life and the late comedian’s art and artistry, his kindness and generosity, and deep patriotism.
Some people remarked that Palace, receiving proposals to commemorate Dolphy’s life, should have declared his birthday instead as the National Day of Remembrance to make it more significant.
The last day of the public viewing, where fans can pay their respect, will be on Saturday, from 8 am to 3 pm.
The films of deeply loved Dolphy will be shown on Cinema One, SKY Cable Channel 56, from July 14 to July 20, 6am onwards.
Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders Affair Exclusive Photos, The Cheated Robert Pattinson
It’s sad how a good movie like Snow White and the Huntsman gets overshadowed by a scandal or controversy instead of being remembered as one of the better Snow White movies ever made (sans Kristen Stewarts trademark “stuttering” meek damsel in distress acting). I totally loved Charlize Theron’s exquisite acting in her role as the “evil stepmother.”
When the news first broke out and source being US Weekly, I wasn’t sure what to believe. It’s a tabloid after all that can weave a whole web out of a small thread. They had the photos as proof, still a little sketchy but that “closeness” and the “kissing / necking in the car” photos are hard to deny. This scandal exploded with close to damning evidence on US Weekly issue. Must be painful for Robert Pattinson and he seems to be a great down-to-earth guy (yea like I can tell from watching one or two guestings on The Ellen Show… har har).

Bottom line is Kirsten Stewart cheated on Pattinson and with a married man no less! Snow White and the Huntsman Director Rupert Sanders, who has a wife and 2 children, apparently already apologized to his family profusely regretting deeply hurting them.
A statement to People, Kristen said: “I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.”
Sanders shortly came out with his own public apology / statement, “I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together.”
The photographic evidence of Sanders, 41, and Stewarts, 22, steamy encounters has been exposed and there’s no denying it. Stewart also came out with a statement on People.com apologizing to Robert and those who have affected by the affair. There is no word yet from Robert Pattinson’s camp but a close source says he’s quite crushed.
