Rest in Peace FrancisM. One of the very few Filipino artists i genuinely admire. Your memories will live forever.

one of the very few Filipino songwriters/artists whose songs make me feel proud (and even sing loud) to be a Filipino...

Hard to believe when I first learn about this while at work. He's still young and looks much younger for his age pa. His children looks more like his siblings. Rest Well, Man From Manila.

altogether now...

So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin

Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most, yeah

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why

Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most, yeah

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

this is one of my favorite songs! RIP sir Francis! you will be missed.

( an exerpt from the master rapper's blog dated Nov.14, 2008)

MUSIC IS LIFE.

I was vocalizing to the new track that we did with Ely B. and THE NEW
BAND. Yup, we will have a new band. An album of music, a documentary
movie, a foundation, yes all of these will happen. AND I WAS VOCALIZING
WHILE TRANSFUSING A PACK OF RBC,

I still hear the voices of Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Tupac Shakur,
Kurt Cobain, The Notorious B.I.G. and Frank Sinatra to name a few. And
their voices rise from their graves.

I am lucky to have been a recording artist and one day when I leave
this world, just like the names I mentioned, my voice will be heard.
Always. At a touch of a button or switch, I am "alive" again.

In essence music is life. Music is immortality.

-Francis Magalona
1964-2009

Even if you weren't a fan of his music, you can't have been a teenager in the 90s without being familiar with at least one of his songs. Amidst the band explosion of that decade, he helped shape the OPM music scene of that time (and his influence stretches on through the years).

Props to him for his great contribution to local music, culture and promoting patriotism. RIP.

I believe that he won that battle, now, all pains are gone, he's in a better place now. And after all that he'd been through, his prize is immortality, not only through his music but also from the lessons of hope he left us...

when i heard the sad news..i was very very sad and even cried a few times watching tributes for him..and i dont even know francis personally..i keep asking myself why am i very much affected..and i have come to conclusion that francis generation is my generation...his music has been a part of me..and now, it feels like a part of me has gone..the music you shared will be treasured and will live in all of us..bilang isang musikero din na tulad mo, nagluluksa kami sa pagkawala mo..may you rest in peace..JOB WELL DONE SIR! :'(
