I feel sad that Francis M passed away, after a long battle with cancer. The Philippines lost a very talented artist and a fiercely passionate and nationalistic man.
Go over to his multiply sites francismagalona.multiply.com and happybattle.multiply.com and see how he is a person going through cancer and living life. My friend Paul also wrote a blog article about him, here.
Here is one of Francis M's most popular songs "Mga Kababayan."
Just today, a group of Filipino rappers performed a tribute for Francis. Very moving.
