FrancisM’s medical bills

03.10.2009 · Posted in TV Time

This is really touching!

I’ve read in PEP.ph and some local newspapers that when Tony Tuviera, big boss of TAPE, Inc., the company behind the longest-running noontime variety show Eat Bulaga!, learned that Francis Magalona was diagnosed with leukemia and would undergo chemotherapy, the big boss immediately said that he would shoulder all the medical expenses of the master rapper.

Wow!

Chemo medicines are no joke. It’s really expensive, not to mention that staying in the hospital could take weeks. Imagine the amount it all amounted to! It was reported that last October 2008 when FrancisM almost died due to sepsis, he stayed in The Medical City for more than 40 days.

In these times when the economy is down and you wouldn’t expect this much generosity from someone, then came Tony Tuviera! I hope there will be more Tony T.’s out there!

  1. Hello there! That is the benefit that you would not like to avail, right? The company I am working for has unlimited health coverage for its employees too.
    I salute Tony T. for having a good heart giving back to someone who had been working for him also for about ten years if I am not mistaken.
    Health card is very important nowadays just to be prepared for unwanted/unexpected things like that. (parang spammer ba ang dating! lol!)
