For comedy king Dolphy, nothing is ever too late. Dolphy, Rodolfo V. Quizon in real life, is this year’s celebrity taker of the Department of Education’s Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Test, previously known as the “Pep” test. Education Secretary Jesli Lapus broke the news yesterday when he spoke at the 1st Biennial National Congress on Education at the Manila Hotel. Lapus said that if the 2007 A&E test had world boxing champion Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao as its most famous examinee, “this year it will be Mang Dolphy.” The comedian was among the 80,000 people who have registered with DepEd’s Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS) to take the test scheduled this February. The A&E Test is administered by DepEd’s Bureau of Alternative Learning, to individuals who did not have formal elementary and high school education.

Dolphy, the King of Comedy at almost 80 years old, still needs to have a high school diploma? Nagpapatawa ba Kayo?
