Dolphy marks b-day in Pidol's Wonderland

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Dolphy reunites with his on-screen daughter, Maricel Soriano, on his birthday special on TV5’s comedy-fantasy show Pidol’s Wonderland. Maricel shows up to greet the Comedy King who is turning 82, tomorrow, July 25 at 6:30 p.m.

Dolphy and Maricel played father and daughter John and Shirley in the ‘80s hit family sitcom John en Marsha. They later starred in a spin-off series John en Shirley, 16 years after their first sitcom signed off on TV. Already working with Dolphy since she was a “baby” in showbiz, Maricel has found a father in Dolphy, whom he calls dad in real life.

The two had seemingly missed their bond while exchanging stories off-cam during their taping. Pidol’s Wonderland retells the tales and legends fit for the whole family. Dolphy’s character Mang Pidol, an antique collector/curio shop owner, serves as a storyteller to kids and folks. The show is also an extension of the bond among the Quizons as his real-life sons Epi and Vandolph play the same role, while Eric directs the show. Jenny, his daughter-in-law, is also part of the sitcom.

Gracing the TV reunion-birthday special are Joross Gamboa, IC Mendoza and some of Dolphy’s loved ones.
