My friend Che and Aling Tess sent a text message today telling me that Francis Magalona, The Master Rapper and the Man From Manila, who was also an actor and host, has passed away. He lost his battle to the dreaded Leukemia. I know that it was a great loss to the Philippines' showbiz industry. Some of his songs that I love the most are Mga Kababayan, Cold Summer Nights and Kaleidoscope World.
Francis "Kiko" Magalona
May you rest in peace
