Actor/comedian Boy2 Quizon gave a stern warning about a local Whisky brand allegedly using the photo of his grandfather, the late Comedy King Dolphy.

Through Instagram Stories, Boy2 cleared that the product is not endorsed by the heirs of Dolphy, and transactions or complaints would not be acknowledged by their family.

"This is to inform the public that 'Banayad Whisky' as shown in the photograph above and/or any product or mechandise having the same brand, is NOT ASSOCIATED, AFFLIATED, OR CONNECTED with RODOLFO "DOLPHY" VERA QUIZON and/or the HEIRS OF DOLPHY," the notice read.

"Any complaint or transaction related to BANAYAD WHISKY shall not be acknowleged by the heirs of Dolphy. Please be guided accordingly."

Boy2, who is part of GMA Afternoon Prime's upcoming series The Seed of Love, added that their family already filed a complaint against the whisky brand.

"Heads up lang: we have filed a case against the seller who won't stop selling their products using my lolo's image and the name Banayad Whisky. Just please beware."

He also used the hashtag #wagmagpabudol, and asked the public to share the notice.

One of Dolphy's most memorable moments is the "Banayad Whisky" scene in his movie Father & Son in 1995. In the comedic scene he was filming a commercial for the said whisky that he was forced to drink. His character has to do several takes and ends up drunk.
