Zsa Zsa Padilla expressed her frustration after some online users made hurtful remarks about her children with the late Comedy King Dolphy.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, Oct. 29, Padilla addressed the comments questioning her biological daughter Zia’s resemblance to Dolphy and the allegations that their ‘adopted’ daughter Nicole was being ‘mistreated.’
‘Si Zia kamukha ni Dolphy. Magulat kayo kung kamukha siya ni Panchito!’ she wrote. ‘Eto pa isa, asan ang ampon? May pangalan anak ko: Coco. She is living in California with her husband. Kala niyo inaapi? Minor pa din? Tawag ka ng pulis. Report mo ako. Sarap niyo tirisin. #MayArawParaPumatol.’
(Zia looks like Dolphy. You’ll be surprised if she looks like Panchito. Here’s another one, where’s the adoptive daughter? My child’s name is Coco. She is living in California with her husband. You thought she’s being bullied? Still a minor? Call the police. Report me. I would like to squeeze you. There are days to fight back.)
Si Zia Kamukha ni Dolphy. Magulat kayo kung Kamukha sya ni Panchito! Ang aga pa ah. Eto pa isa- asaan ang ampon? May pangalan anak ko: Coco. She is living in California with her husband. Kala nyo inaapi? Minor pa din? Tawag ka ng pulis. Report mo ako. Sarap nyo tirisin..
It was not immediately known what prompted Padilla’s outburst, but netizens showed support for the actress-singer’s statement.
Padilla and Dolphy share two daughters together, Zia Quizon, a singer-songwriter known for hits like ‘Ako Na Lang,’ and Nicole ‘Coco’ Quizon, who is now based in California.
Padilla also shares a daughter, actress-singer Karylle, with her former spouse, the late Dr. Modesto Tatlonghari.
Dolphy, on the other hand, had 18 children from different relationships, including those with Padilla.
Padilla was the longtime partner of Dolphy for more than two decades until the comedy king’s death in 2012.
Padilla recently made headlines after she made a generous donation to the victims of the earthquake in Cebu.
Dolphy starred in numerous classic films and TV shows such as ‘John en Marsha’ and ‘Home along da Riles.’
