Article has been viewed by 174 visitors so far

Master rapper Francis Magalona, 43, has been diagnosed with leukemia or cancer of the blood and urgently needs the help of blood donors and that any blood type and platelets will be accepted* (*Subject to medical requirements).

Pupil band manager and Francis Magalona friend Day Cabuhat said that,  “Donations may be made at the lower ground level of The Medical City (located along Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City)  in the name of Francis Magalona.”

Friends and relatives organized a blood donation drive to help the popular singer’s cause. They’re also asking friends from the media to spread the word regarding Francis’s condition to encourage people to turn up and donate blood.

Earlier after being diagnosed with leukemia, Francis M appealed for sobriety: “I don’t want a media circus. I want privacy with my family. What I’d rather talk about is how to we can solicit blood donations to replace the supply that I have consumed in the hospital.”

Francis M is married to Pia Arroyo-Magalona, they have eight children: Unna, Nicolo, Francis Jr., Isabella, Elmo, Arkin, Clara, and actress Maxene Magalona.

Pia Magalona on his husband’s condition said: “It was very gradual, hindi siya biglaang lumabas. We don’t want to use the word ‘curable,’ but the doctors say it’s treatable.”

Francis Magalona is also known FrancisM and Master Rapper, and is considered to be the King of Pinoy Rap and is credited as being the first Filipino rapper in the Philippines to successfully crossover to the mainstream. Francis Magalona has  a personal blog called a Free Mind. Francis M regularly appears in GMA’s noontime fare, Eat Bulaga.

    Hi Kiko Magalona:

    I have been through similar situation many years ago due to osteosarcoma (bone cancer) on my right leg. With God’s help and your loved ones around you supporting you, you will overcome whatever crisis you are into. Eat more organic food. It helps!

    I pray for your speedy recovery.

    my condolences to the family of “the man from manila”, to his fans, and his colleagues at the local entertainment industry. we will all miss Francis M.

    thank you, kiko, for your music and your legacy.

    congrats to the staff of ch2’s “showbiz news ngayon” for giving the “master rapper” a good tribute last night. in so short a time they were able to come up with a program full of news/recaps/refreshers/file videos on the king of rap’s outstanding career. the whole program was dedicated to him.

    ang bilis kumilos ng mga taga-”snn”. congrats! keep it up.

    yes, yes yo! yes, yes, yo! eternal peace to you, “mr. magalona man”.

    isang biyaya ng panginoon ang nakamtan
    na sa puso ng pilipino’y d makakalimutan…
    nag bigay saya at nag bigay ng inspirasyon
    sa bawat musikero ng industriyang pilipino…
    araw ng byernes ika anim ng marso
    binawian ng buhay ang taong napaka asensado…
    ang musikang “mga kababayan ko”
    ay sumasaludo sa bawat pilipino…
    sya ay nag tayo ng isang produkto
    para mapakita na sya ay talagang pilipino…
    masakit tanggapin na ikaw ay wala na
    pero sa puso namin buong buo ka…
    paalam kaybigan,idolo,ama,hari
    pagkat sa bagong landas na iyong tatahakin
    baunin mo ang dasal na aming pinapanalangin…

    nag bibigay pugay kamay ako sa nag iisang
    KING of RAP sa puso ng bawat rapper na pilipino…
    mahal ka namin kuya kiko
    may you rest in peace…

    sad!!!!!!!!!!!! sayang!!!!hes a great guy dami na inspire dahil sa faith and love nya kay God, hes a strong person that inspite of his illness he fought for it and surrendered himself to God, he made his family happy even up to his last weeks he still tries to make his kids laugh, idol ko na sya kasi love and proud sya sa philippines I will always look up to him hes one of a kind and no one will ever be like him, I pray fo his peace and his family too. I hope he could have lived longer pa para mas madami pa sya nagawa but i guess after his death sobrang laki impact to sa lahat ng tao para maging like him and be proud to be a filipino. we love u francis and u will forver be remebered and missed.

But, thank you pa rin sa kanila dahil they gave merit for what you have contributed in the country especially in the arts and music industry. You are an inspiration to all..You are always be remembered! God Bless you and your family. Proud to be PINOY!!! ONE LOVE…
