Francis Magalona died of leukemia today!. I was shock to hear the news, I just finished updating my blogs when I turned on the T.V. and I can’t believe what I heard from T.V. Patrol that the master rapper died. It’s sad, but lets not talk about the death of Francis, lets talk about how he touched people’s lives like what he did to me.



I was grade four when his smashed hit “Mga Kababayan” was released in the 90’s. that was also the time when i heard the name Francis M. and his new brand of music called RAP. I was about to enter High school when again one of his hit song cold summer nights became one of my favorite. That started it all, from there on I became a Francis M. fan. and it fascinates me that in every album he released one song would always be about the filipino or how to be makabayan.

I really respect and admire him on how he use his status as an artist and celebrity to influence young kids to love our country and be proud to be a filipino. from his song to his clothing line a touch of patriotism is always present, a francis magalona signature.



for my part, I’ve opened a website/blog showcasing the beauty of the philippines http://www.pinoyislands.com that’s how he inspired me. I am also a proud filipino and I love the philippines. as my tag line goes “pinoyislands - where people and places are world class” FRANCIS MAGALONA you are trully a world class filipino.

YO! TO THE MASTER RAPPER FRANCIS MAGALONA MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!
