Sad news, Francis M died today. The Master rapper is gone.

HI rakittera,
I heard about that too when I was about to get to work an hour ago. I thought it was just a rumor... Is it really true?

I love Francis M.'s songs since I was a kid especially Kaleidoscope world... He's been like a good example of a father like my own dad.In his shows, he doesn't get embarrass in showing how he loves his family... He's one of the artists I know who really used his talent to show the world that Filipinos are talented and not to be messed with... T_T waaaaaaaaaaaah I feel sad about this... T_T

Your discussion came to me as a shock! I still can't believe it. I thought he's still fighting for it. Francis Magalona has been my earliest influence in music back when i was still into pinoy rap. Now i'm into metal. It was also from Francis where i experienced my first attendance in a concert. The news just came too fast!

That is just sad.I feel sorry for his wife and children.He would surely be missed by a lot of Filipinos.
I remember that song too,rakittera.It's a favorite during school programs especially during Linggo ng Wika.
Well,let's just pray for his soul.God bless!

yup....it was really sad though....well actually aside from his music which is actually one of the most important and very influential in music industry in philippines......he and his family (parents with his brother and sister)....were my neighbor...when i was 8 years old...until 11 years old...he's a good person though...he always play with us....actually his family are really nice people...till years go by....we moved...the last time i saw him was in katipunan quezon city back in 97....with his family..(wife and kids)...and he still remembers me...he never forget people...even if its years passes by...its really nice....its just sad that he is really young...its too bad....all we can actually do is pray for him...and his songs will remain with us....

I didn't even know he was suffering from anything. He was indeed very influential in the local music scene. He will surely be missed.

Condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

It's really is a sad news, I was shocked when they announced it in Eat Bulaga today. I may not know him personally, but having grown up in the Bagets era I somehow feel connected to him. Being an aspiring songwriter, I also look up to him for his great talent in writing.

He is a big loss to the music industry, and to the whole country as well.

Oh my God!this is a shocking news. Francis Magalona was a great musician, the last time I saw him on TV was through his coffee commercial just last year. He was a great lost to the Phil.music industry.

This is really sad. I have been following his multiply account (although it has been sometime since it was last updated) and I thought he was having a good fight with leukemia.

I actually heard the news about it in Eat Bulaga and it really came as a shock. I feel sorry for Eat Bulaga's hosts that they have to continue their show today and keep those smiling faces up while deep inside them is mourning for his death. I thought Francis M. was doing better 'cause I don't know how long ago it was but the last time I saw him in TV, he was like very cheerful and really fighting for it. Well, what could we say but this is life, all things go to an end and we have no choice but to move on. I wish Francis M's family well and I hope that things will be better for them soon and they'll find the courage through God to move forward.

I was really shocked when I heard the news from Williie Revillame of Wowowee. Francis has a great talent, and great love of our country. As a child, I really admired his songs and sang whenever I saw his commercial. He seems to be a very kind hearted and sincere person and I think that is what separates him from the rest...Although he lived a full life, he is still a great loss for us Filipinos. I hope we all remember him in our hearts.
