Francis “The Master Rapper” Magalona passed away 12 noon of March 6, 2009. After a series of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, the last of which was in January 2009, Francis M. succumbed to his death days before his scheduled stem cell transplant this month.
The King of Rap, as he is widely known, will definitely leave an indelible mark in the Philippine entertainment industry. The rise of nationalistic rap music will forever be attributed to his name. He made popular original rap pieces such as “Mga Kababayan Ko”, “Meron Akong Ano”, and “Kaleidoscope World”, among others.
When he was diagnosed with leukemia last year, he had to take a break from his hosting job in “Eat Bulaga” to undergo treatments at The Medical City, all details of which are documented in his personal blog, with the purpose of educating and inspiring other people who have the same condition that he had.
