NOBODY… NOBODY BUT DOLPHY!

For the first time, King of Philippine Comedy Dolphy competes with the woman she loves in the forthcoming Metro Manila Film Festival. But this is not the case in Kaizz Ventures and RVQ Productions’ Nobody, Nobody but…Juan! as directed and starred in by Eric Quizon and co-produced by him with Joe Aldeguer. Zsa Zsa Padilla is in Megastar Sharon Cuneta’s Mano Po 6: My Mother’s Love, which is unusual as his love is usually his leading lady but now they are competitors. Dolphy tells STIR how Nobody, nobody but…Juan! made them ‘enemies’ and she’s the last woman in his life.

What can we expect from Nobody, nobody but…Juan!?

Isa na ito sa pinakamagandang movie na nagawa ko.

What’s Juan’s story?

Nagsimula itong senior citizen ako sa isang assisted living community sa Chicago na owned by Eric and his wife, G Toengi. Galit sila sa’kin dahil ako ang pasimuno sa mga kasayahan doon sa nursing home, lalo sa panonood ng Wowowee. Dahil doon, na-trace ko ang longtime friends na naiwan ko sa Pinas.

You’ll be competing with Zsa Zsa’s Mano Po 6?

Nagpaalam siya sa akin kasi nauna kaming mag-shoot sa kanila and I said, sige, do it, kasi magkaiba naman kami ng movie. She’s now in Beijing shooting it at katatawag lang sa’kin.

Kamusta siya?

Nangangatog daw siya sa ginaw, below zero.

Kamusta annulment ng marriage niya?

Wala na, kinalimutan na namin ’yon. Malabo. Wala na tayong magagawa. Tanggap ko na. Kung tutuusin, mas madali sanang i-annul ang civil wedding niya kasi 16 years old lang siya nu’n. Basta, mayroong humaharang. Well, could be the husband, kasi ang annulment, kailangan, agreement of both parties.

What’s the secret of your long relationship?

Nagkakaintindihan kami. Pag mainit ang ulo niya, relax ka lang.

Siya na ba ang last woman mo?

Simula nang naging kami, ayan ang Diyos, hindi na ako nang-chicks talaga. Noong araw, malandi talaga ako. Pero noong kami na, talagang last na siya.
