Francis M (1964 - 2009)

Francis Magalona - Known as "Francis M", "Kiko", "Master Rapper" - had passed away yesterday, 6 March 2009 at around 12 noon. He had succumbed to multiple organ failure - result of his months-long battle with cancer.

With his demise, he had left a huge vacuum in the music industry ... He left us with the well-loved songs like : Mga Kababayan Ko, Kaleidoscope World, Man from Manila, Cold Summer Nights ...

He not only inspired us with his music but he also sparked our nationalistic spirit ... He showed us that we can be proud of our Filipino Heritage ... that we shouldn't be ashamed to say that "We are Filipinos" ...

I don't know him personally ... but was really saddened by his death ... I got goosebumps yesterday when my sister-in-law texted me about his death after Vic Sotto announced it in Eat Bulaga ...

I had been watching the TV Programs since last night which are featuring tribute for him ... SNN had their whole show devoted for Francis M ... and today, while I'm writing this, am watching Eat Bulaga ... I've realized that there's more to this man ... I've also surfed his multiply site and seen how a family man he is ...

Francis M, you will surely be missed!!!
