FrancisM succumbs to cancer
Master rapper/popular tv host-singer, Francis Magalona, died at 12:20 pm today, March 6, at the Medical City hospital in Pasig City, from leukemia. It was announced on national tv by comedian, Vic Sotto, on the longest-running noontime show, Eat Bulaga. The stars of the popular noontime show broke into tears as they prayed for the soul of their friend, Kiko.
He battled cancer for almost eight months before finally succumbing to it. He died of heart failure, a common cause of death by people suffering from cancer.
FrancisM was only 44.
This is one of the last 3 photos he posted in his Multiply blog.
I am a huge fan of FrancisM. He’s one of the few singers in the country who knew how to transform a nationalistic song into a cool one. Mga Kababayan Ko will always be one of the greatest songs he produced.
I love Kaleidoscope World the most, though 
In his last blog entry, he related that he would be undergoing his 4th chemotherapy cycle and was asking for prayers from everyone.
So sad.
