The master rapper marked his 14th death anniversary yesterday.

The family of the late Master Rapper, Francis Magalona, commemorated his 14th death anniversary yesterday, March 6.

Pia Magalona marked her husband's death anniversary with an Instagram post.

Pia posted photos of her and her children visiting Francis M.'s grave, along with some old photos of the OPM rap icon.

"Bless the man if his heart and his land are one. Three Stars & a Sun,” she said.

“Commemorating Francis M's 14th year since he passed away from AML. Thank you to all who remember, and pls say a prayer for us,” Pia wrote.

Saab Magalona and her two kids, Pancho and Vito, also visited Francis M.'s grave.

“Visited pop this morning, 14 years after we said goodbye!” she wrote in her caption.

Saab posted photos and videos of Pancho and Vito keeping the family entertained during their visit.

“I'm sure pop is loving that his grandkids are dancing on his grave, proving that showmanship runs in the family,” she said.

Saab also noted how Pancho and Vito “seemed very clingy to their Ate Luna.”

In 2018, Saab and Jim Bacarro lost their little angel Luna, who was Pancho's twin sister.
