For the Coffee Table Book – Issue #7

Francis Magalona, a Filipino rapper, actor, host, producer, writer and photographer, diagnosed with leukemia last year, died Friday at 12:20 pm at the Medical City hospital in Pasig City. He was 44 years old.

I am not into rap music. I am not a friend of Francis M. I am one of those who admire this guy for his love of the Philippines and for his pride as a Filipino. This is evident in the songs he composed and recorded. I admire him for his optimism and courage amidst hist trials.

Francis M, you will be missed! Thank you for sharing your well-lived life.

    Waahh,, kakalungkot, ang bata pa nya..

    Bakit ang bilis yata, last year lang nadiagnose tas wala na sya ngaun?

    Nde din ako mahilig sa mga rap music pero nalungkot ako..

    Godbless kapatid!

    Medyo naging progressive nga ang case niya… Pinakamabagsik kasing type of leukemia ang tumama sa kanya…

    akala ko din ok na siya tapos nagulat lang ako sa balita last friday.

    …but his songs will continue to play :-)

    He has neven been into full remission… But he fought a good fight, and even in the end inspired many… :)

  10. March 8, 2009 at 8:41 pm

    Sana maraming magpatuloy ng mga nasimulan nya o kaya ma-inspire na gumawa rin ng Filipino pride songs. May he rest in peace.

    Ganda ng shot mo as always. Kainggit!

    May Francis M. rest in peace indeed… Thanks on the shot… :) Will email you the tips tomorrow…:)

    thanks for the heartwarming comments on my blog. pareho tayo ng dahilan kung bakit ingles ang posts ko. nag-uumpisa lang akong magsulat na muli sa Filipino upang hindi ko ito makalimutan. isasama rin kita sa listahan ng mga lagi kong bibisitahin.

    salamat sa pagpansin sa aking apelyido. ang totoo, hinahanap ko ang aking mga kamag-anak. kami lamang ang may apelyidong Valendez sa Palawan kaya naghahanap ako maging dito sa Maynila. Nitong nakalipas na buwan, nakahanap ako ng mga kamag-anak sa Facebook at may mga nakaYM na ilan. Magiging isang karangalan sa akin kung matutulungan mo akong magkaroon ng kaugnayan sa iba pang Valendez lalo na sa isang kakilala mo.

    Ang aking ama ay nanggaling jan sa Cebu kung saan nariyan din ang kanyang mga kamag-anak. Matagal nang hindi nakakapunta jan si ama kaya wala akong nakilalang mga kamag-anak. Salamat.

    Sige kapatid, i-email ko sa ‘yo bukas ang email address ng dati kong kasama sa trabaho… Nasa office email ko kasi… Salamat uli sa pagbisita… :)

    kalungkot talaga.sa totoo lang madaming may ganoong talent sa kanya pero iba siya. ..iba dahil sa may dinadala siya. yan ay ang pagkamakabayan.

    I agree kapatid… Hindi na ako nakakarinig ng mga makabayang kanta ngayon eh…
