I want to give my biggest respect to Philippines King of Pinoy Rap, a.k.a Master Rapper Francis Magalona who passed away last Friday at the age of 44. It was a grim Friday for me, never been in my life I feel this sad for the lost of a showbiz personality. From the time I learned he was diagnosed with Leukemia, I already feel the sadness inside of me, something behind it I believe that he will survive and continue his vision for Filipino people
I remembered Francis M. as a person who makes my generation to stand up as a Filipino and to be proud of their color and be known in the world.
I started to listen to his talent when he was just starting to rap, freestyle at Alma Moreno show “Loveli-Ness” Top 10 (not sure about the show title) and if I’m not mistaking it was Willie Revillame on the drums. Every show I always try to watch his segment and of course Alma’s tanga dance. Part of my puberty stage. From the released of his first album until now my love to his music, his lyrics continue on, now I want to own one of his designed shirt (below)  “Francis Magalona Clothing co.” Maybe somebody will send me a shirt here in Canada. Just contact me and I will give you my address. lol
Francis M pioneered Pinoy Rap and was the first Pinoy rap artist who crosses the border between rap and rock. He is a lyrical poet defining his pride as a Filipino. His an inspiration to all Filipino youth of today generation. A true visionary of the Philippine music industry.

The Filipino has lost a legend, an inspiration. May they remember his contribution to music and his big love for the Philippines and his legacy must stay forever in the heart of every Filipino.
He will be missed but his legacy would definitely lives on. Fans can pay their respects for the last time until March 11 at Christ the King Memorial Chapel. His remains would be cremated March 11 at 9.00 AM at Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina City.

Long Live Francis M in our hearts

we will truly miss you…
