Francis Magalona (1964-2009)

Francis Magalona died yesterday at 12 noon because of leukemia. My sister was the first one who informed me about it through text and said it was announced by Vic Sotto in Eat Bulaga. And until now, I still can’t believe it, that the Master Rapper of the Philippines is gone 🙁 I have never been this sad with any celebrity deaths, and to think that I’m not really a big fan, but the thought of not seeing him ever again just deeply saddens me 🙁 I WILL NEVER SEE HIM PERFORM LIVE AGAIN, and that sucks 🙁

My first taste of a concert was Francis M! He performed in our school’s musical extravaganza when I was just in highschool. And I can never forget the part when he sang “Mahiwagang Kamote” it was the first time I heard that song but I enjoyed it very much. I’m not into rap music, but right there and then, I acknowledged him as the greatest pinoy rapper ever because he has the talent of a thousand rappers all in one!

To Mr. Francis Magalona, no worries sir, you’ve won the happy battle because you’ve touched so many lives in your life. No one can ever replace the Master Rapper in you 😉

We watched Eat Bulaga today, and there’s a rapper friend of kiko, he shared what kiko has always said to him.. “Wag magsawa.. Magsimula nang magsimula”
