oo nga e, napahinto nga ako kanina sa trbaho ko nung nalaman kong wala na si kiko. maraming kabataan ang umiidulo kay kiko. Sobrang dami ang nakiramay sa kanya ngayon. Marami siyang iniwang ala-ala sa industriya ng pelikula lalo na sa industriya ng musika. WE ALL LOVE YOU KIKO!

I have taken my family last night March 6, 2009 at the 1st night of Kiko’s wake. I am sure that there would be a bigger crowd today. We were there and we saw Pia and her kids and quite a few friends. Amidst this, I know that they will remain to be in good hands though. Francis Magalona left them not just a legacy but a support base as huge as the entire nation.
I saw THE FREE MAN himself and somehow I know he passed away happy. I saw it in his face. He must have gotten thin and quite darker but one can still see a FIGHTER in his face. I have had several encounter with him in the past through his gigs and some mall tours which I have seen in an impromptu instance.
Amidst all, last night was the first time I had the chance to get so close to him like almost touching him. Unfortunately, he has left already and I cannot even tell him how thankful I am for all his contributions to us as youth then.
I do hope that somehow all his life’s works and achievements will be continued. At the very last, he never surrendered both in his illness and with his advocacy for unity. He will always be remembered. He may have died but he will always be alive in our hears, mind and in the books of this nation.
Thanks Francis Michael D. Magalona, Jr.!
