I was shocked to hear the news yesterday that Francis Magalona passed away. I haven't been in touch with the showbiz world for so long so I never knew he was sick with leukemia (until yesterday).
Since I'm an 80's girl.. I remember looking up to this master rapper back in my high school days. We even danced his song " Mga Kababayan Ko" in school.
Francis Magalona is considered as a legend in the Filipino music industry. He is known as the King of Pinoy Rap as his songs and he had developed a new genre in Filipino music. He was diagnosed with leukemia on August 8, 2008 and had undergone successive chemo therapy treatments and blood transfusion. He has been in and out of the hospital and I'm sure he had some some medical and disability insurance . But sadly he died on March 6, 2009 at the age of 44 due to Acute myeloid leukemia.
