For the Coffee Table Book - Issue #7

Francis Magalona, a Filipino rapper, actor, host, producer, writer and photographer, diagnosed with leukemia last year, died Friday at 12:20 pm at the Medical City hospital in Pasig City. He was 44 years old.

I am not into rap music. I am not a friend of Francis M. I am one of those who admire this guy for his love of the Philippines and for his pride as a Filipino. This is evident in the songs he composed and recorded. I admire him for his optimism and courage amidst hist trials.

Francis M, you will be missed! Thank you for sharing your well-lived life.
