Alma refuses to be interviewed for Dolphy's biography

A chapter involving Alma and the other women in Dolphy's life is surely a must in the biography. In Alma's case, she and Dolphy were not merely lovers but had a child, Vandolph, now married.

So far, according to Eric, they have interviewed Lotis Key (remember her?), who is now based in the US with her husband. And, would you believe, even Pilar Pilapil?

Yes, former beauty queen and actress Pilar Pilapil and Dolphy had a past.

Still trim and pretty, Pilar is in the cast of the ABS-CBN teleserye, "Lobo," starring Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin. She is now married, too.

Pilar had just finished her term as Miss Philippines when she was paired with Dolphy in a movie which was shot in Madrid, Spain.

The inevitable happened. They fell in love.

It is said that at that time, the two were so in love that they wanted to get married. But Pilar's mom was adamant and stood her ground. Pilar was only 17 then and there was no way her mother would consent to the marriage.

Dolphy never had a child with Lotis. Eric is his son with Baby Smith, known to moviegoers in his time as Pamela Ponti. She and Dolphy lived together as husband and wife for sometime. Aside from Eric, they have three other children: Ronnie, Madonna and Epy.

All four children of Dolphy with Baby finished college. Eric is a holder of a Bachelor of Science (Major in Biology) degree from the Ateneo University.

Manny, Freddie, Edgar, Rollie and Sally are Dolphy's children with former LVN star, Gracita Dominguez, who died last year.

With Zsa Zsa, who Dolphy said is to be the last woman in his life, he has a daughter, Zia. They also have an adopted child, Nicole.

Dolphy has never been married.

Eric plans to launch the book, to be titled "Hindi Ko Narating Ito Na Nag-i-isa," before his dad's 80th birthday on July 25.

This Saturday's episode of "That's My Doc" (6 to 6:45 p.m.) is more exciting and interesting because of the opening of the Barangay Center called Care Mo, Care Ko.

This project has long been a dream of Doc Aga (Aga Muhlach), as, he believes, it will help him and Greta (Lara Quigaman, who plays a nurse) to teach the children of Tabuneknek about good health.

Major Ret (Roderick Paulate), however, wants to get credit for the center, as he claims he offered his former sports store to be the site for it.

The guest in this particular episode is Aiza Seguerra, who will play a Reyna Elena in a Santacruzan.

By the way, Aiza will soon record an album for a big recording company in Singapore.
