This afternoon, as I was enjoying watching one of the segments in the noon time show Eat Bulaga which is the "Sa Pula, Sa Puti", the host Allan K. stops the program in the middle of the game for a quick commercial break. The stopping of game in EB is not usual which the game usually ended before the second round. And then, the EB resumes it's programming and suddenly all the host of the TV show are on the stage and the main host which is Vic Sotto speaks solemnly and announcing that the Master Rapper Francis Magalona has passed away.

I was surprise on the news, although we all know that Francis M. is suffering from a major illness and his chances in surviving is very minimal, the man was able to hide his weakness by telling the nation how he survive all the obstacles he encounters.

As a fan, I’ve idolized this man as a great and talented artist, not only on the type of music he created but every music he made shows his patriotism and awareness on our nation and society. He's been a foundation on the nations rap industry, an Idol and Icon for those who like and dislike his music and an inspiration for those who dreamed to be on his shoes. He also designed a shirt to show and to unite all the Filipino by proudly wearing the Philippine symbol. He is a host, an actor, a model, a writer, a photographer, a film maker and a father.

Though I don't personally know him, this is a man with a big dream, a big heart, and a big hope. A great loss to the country's music industry, very talented artist.

Farewell Idol, good luck to your journey.
