The family of the late master rapper and Dabarkad Francis Magalona marked his 12th death anniversary last March.
Talent manager Pia Magalona was overwhelmed with emotions as she marked the birthday of her late husband Eat Bulaga host Francis Magalona, yesterday (October 4).
Francis M, who succumbed to leukemia or cancer of the blood on March 6, 2009, is considered by many as one of the top Pinoy rappers during his time.
To mark the occasion, Pia shared an old photo on Instagram with Francis and expressed how much she misses him on his birthday.
She wrote, “How we wish we could all be together and celebrate your birthday as October is a very special time for our family, with the many folks born this month. Again, happy birthday, FrancisM. Pls work your magic from up above and protect us, especially your dear children and grandchildren, from the dark side.”
Pia continued, “We love you and all the cherished memories we shared, deep in our hearts. We need more JOY to sustain us; God's PEACE to comfort us; and HOPE to remind us of brighter days ahead.
“His joy will be our STRENGTH; His peace surpasses all UNDERSTANDING; and in Him ALONE do we have our hope for the FUTURE,” she added.
Pia noted that times have truly changed and his songs remain relevant up to this day.
The celebrity mom explained, “I dedicate my comeback to IG in commemoration of the day you were born, back in 1964. Times have truly changed (for the worse) and especially for our country that's been hit hard not just by the pandemic but by the current situation we are in because--believe it or not--they're back!”
“Yeah… the ones you wrote those songs for: about injustice, inequality and the abuse we grew up with. Where is the love, we asked, for the Filipino people BY the Filipino people?? Mom is there now, too, with you and both your parents. Keep watch over us--and keep us safe always. I love you,” Pia shared.
Let's all remember the beautiful memories of the other celebrities, who died of cancer in the gallery below.
