Michael V. remembers friend Francis Magalona on the late rapper's 56th birthday
Losing a friend is never easy.
Recently, seasoned comedian Michael V. remembered fond memories with his good friend, the late Master Rapper, Francis Magalona.
The musician and Eat Bulaga host died on March 6, 2009, after losing the battle with acute myeloid leukemia.
On Instagram yesterday, October 4, Direk Bitoy shared a movie poster of Ano Ba Yan!, a project he did with Francis Magalona to commemorate the rapper's 56th birthday.
The Kapuso comedy star also recalled that he and Francis had an instant connection doing this project, which was their first film together.
“Hindi kami dito nagkakilala but this is the first movie na nagkasama kami ni Francis M.
“Dito ko rin nalaman na mahilig din s'ya [sic] sa comics at video games. Dito ko nai-share sa kanya 'yung mga drawings ko and guess what? Pareho din kaming mahilig mag-drawing!”
He added that although he passed away 11 years ago, many still remember him. Also, his friendship with the OPM legend never ended.
Bitoy explained, “I guess our real friendship along with @ogiealcasid officially started here and never ended even after he's gone.
“And a lot of people still remember his birthday long after he's passed away.
“Long live The Master Rapper!”
In March 2016, the multi-awarded comedian also shared on Instagram the story of the "3 stars & a sun" tattoo on his back as a tribute to the great Master Rapper.
