Over on Instagram, Maxene Magalona shared a touching video describing the favorite memory she has with her late father.
"I have a lot of beautiful and wonderful memories with my Dad.
"But I guess one of my favorites would have to be when he would pick up from school, in college in Katipunan, and we would ride home together all the way to Antipolo.
"And I really cherished those moments because those were the times when he would ask me how I was and what's happening in my life.
"You know he really took time to get to know us; to really ask us how we were.
"It was also in those car rides home when he would give me advice --advice that I really keep in my heart forever.
"We would listen to music together, some of his favorite songs or sometimes he would just suddenly start rapping out of nowhere!
"You know it was really those fun, candid moments that I really love and miss the most.
"He was just himself--no cameras, no microphones, no nothing. It was just our quiet time together. I really miss him," she wrote.
Maxene also uploaded a throwback photo of Francis M, greeting him on his birthday.
Frank Magalona, too, shared a picture of his dad where the latter is seen wearing a big, warm smile.
OPM hip-hop artist Gloc-9 also took to Instagram to share one of the things he remembers most about the late rap legend.
"Ganyan lagi ang bati na ngiti mo Sir. “Ako ay isang taga hanga mo..” Happy Birthday Sir kiks! Maraming Maraming Salamat sa Lahat," Gloc-9 captioned.
Francis M passed away on March 6, 2009 after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in August of 2008.
