Key Information

Early life

[edit]

Quizon was born on January 20, 1967, the second of four children born to Dolphy and actress Pamela Ponti (real name Alice Smith).[2] He completed his college education at the Ateneo de Manila University, graduating with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Quizon has three siblings from his mother: Ronnie, Madonna, and Epy Quizon. He also has several half-siblings from his father's other relationships, including Vandolph and Zia Quizon. Following his father's hospitalization in 2012, Quizon served as the official spokesperson for the family, regularly addressing the media regarding Dolphy's medical condition and funeral arrangements.[4]

Regarding his relationships, Quizon revealed in a May 2024 interview that his first girlfriend was television host and actress Kris Aquino. He stated that he was 20 years old and Aquino was 16 at the time of their relationship.[5]

Career

[edit]

Acting

[edit]

Quizon made his acting debut in the 1987 film Bata Batuta.[6] He quickly gained critical recognition, winning the Best Supporting Actor award at the 1990 Gawad Urian Awards for his role in Pahiram Ng Isang Umaga (1989). Throughout the 1990s, he became a household name, balancing dramatic roles with comedy. He achieved widespread popularity starring alongside Redford White in the hit sitcom Buddy en Sol (1990–1995), a role he reprised in subsequent film adaptations. His acting prowess was further solidified when he won the Best Actor title at the 1991 Metro Manila Film Festival for Mongolian Barbecue.

In 2003, Quizon received further acclaim for his performance in Crying Ladies, playing the role of Wilson Chua, which earned him another Best Actor win at the Metro Manila Film Festival.

Directing and producing

[edit]

While successful on camera, Quizon eventually expanded his career to include directing and producing. He made his directorial debut with the film Lucio & Miguel in 1992. Over the years, he has expressed a deep affinity for working behind the scenes, admitting in interviews that he finds a distinct fulfillment in directing compared to acting.[6] His directorial portfolio covers a wide range of genres, from films like Langit sa Piling Mo (1997) and Pusong Mamon (1998) to major television fantasy series such as Darna, Majika, and Asian Treasures.

In December 2022, he expanded his role in the industry further by becoming the head of NET25 Star Center, the talent management arm of Net 25.[7]

Business ventures

[edit]

As a steward of his father's estate, Quizon manages several business ventures launched to preserve the legacy of Dolphy. In 2023, the Quizon family officially launched Pidol's Banayad Whisky (PBW), a premium Scotch whisky brand.[8] The brand serves as a homage to a classic comedic scene from the film Father en Son (1995), where Dolphy's character drunkenly struggles to film a commercial for a liquor of the same name. Quizon noted that the family decided to produce an official, FDA-approved version of the liquor after unauthorized "bootleg" sellers began profiting from his father's image.[9]

In addition to the liquor line, Quizon oversees Pidol's Bakeshop, a bakery franchise named after his father's nickname. The bakeshop aims to make affordable bread accessible to local communities while serving as a steady source of royalties for the Quizon heirs.[10] The family is also developing Dolphy Ville Estates in Calatagan, Batangas, which will feature a museum, "Dolphy Manor," dedicated to the late comedian's life and work.[11]
