We are certain that most veteran comedians in the Philippines made us all laugh with their punch line and humorous ideas. However, this news will probably make us sad.
Comedian Domingo Vusotros Bustamante Jr, also known as Bentong passed away last February 9 in Fairview General Hospital due to his diabetes.

It was confirmed by one of his relative on a recent FB post.
“Rest in Peace Papa Bentong hindi ko akalain na heto na ang ating huling pagsasama naten alam ko kasama mo na ang Panginoon ngayon kaya panatag narin ang loob ko. Maraming maraming salamat Papa sa pag aaruga sa Pamilya naten. Maraming salamat din dahil napakarami mo napasayang tao. Mahal na mahal ka namin Pa.”
We all know that Bentong was known as sidekick in some Philippine movies including Pera o Bayong with stars John Estrada, Randy Santiago and Willie Revillame. But before that, he started as production assistant until that he was given a break to do some comedy acting because of his potential.
He died at the age of 55. Rest in peace, Bentong.
