It is heartbreaking to read that Philippines popular rapper turned TV host-actor, Francis Magalona, has been diagnosed with leukemia. He is 43 years old and father to eight children. I have been a fan of Francis Magalona ever since his Mga Kababayan Ko days. His rap songs have always been feisty and sensible to me, unlike most local rap songs.

I will be writing more about him in the next few days. He is currently undergoing more tests and is requesting the media not to turn his sickness into a media circus.

Here’s hoping that Francis will be blessed with a miracle.
