Galing din ako dun. Kagaya niyo rin ako. May pag-asa. Kahit kayo nandiyan, may purpose ang Diyos kaya kayo nandiyan. Kasi ako alam ko naman po na hindi lahat ng inmates may kasalanan din, &quot; Dolphy Jr. shared.Dolphy, Jr. openly told inmates he was convicted of arson with multiple homicide in 1981 - a crime, he insists, he did not do.He was sentenced to life imprisonment. While inside prison, he said, he continued to use illegal drugs and his drug abuse even worsened. He confessed to have used heroin.&quot;Sigarilyo, alak, sugal, drugs, babae. Lahat ng kasalanan nasa akin. Nag start akong mag drugs, huwag kayong magulat ha, 1969 pa nagdo-droga na ako. Katorse anyos ako,&quot; he further told inmates.Visiting jails and sharing his life and the word of God has been his mission since he got out of prison in 1998. He said one day in 1994, he was watching television when he was touched by the story shared by evangelist Bro. Eddie Villanueva.

Ang pinakamaganda na sila ay makakakilala rin sa Panginoong Diyos.&quot;Former President Joseph Estrada granted him pardon on September 28, 1998.
