Francis M’s last blog entry swells with condolences from fans

MANILA, Philippines - Francis Magalona was bald but smiling in the last three photos in his last Web log (blog) entry. He was then very optimistic he would win his bout with cancer. “Good evening people. I am getting prepared for my 4th Chemotherapy cycle, and I will be admitted tonight at The Medical City. I will be doing some tests tomorrow, wish me luck," Magalona wrote in his blog dated Jan. 14. The “Master Rapper" was wearing his signature “3 stars and a Sun" t-shirt in the pictures. When Vic Sotto broke the news live on “Eat Bulaga" that Magalona passed away on Friday noon, the singer-songwriter’s website was suddenly flooded with words of condolences from fans. “We will miss you Francis M.... May you Rest in Peace!" wrote “ysel3", the first blogger who sent her condolences to Magalona’s website. “We'll pray for you and thanks for being such a wonderful and great example for everyone of us. See you!!! We don't really expect that you will leave us all soon man," Ysel added. As of 3 p.m. Friday, Magalona’s last blog entry got 700 comments, with at least 30 bloggers posting their condolences every minute. Aside from the usual text comments, other online users posted pictures of the Master Rapper. “Wartoys" posted his undated photo with Magalona saying: “Sir salamat dito sa ala-ala na yan. Miss you sir [Thank you for this memory. Miss you sir]. " “Cr4y0n1", on the other hand, embedded an MP3 of Magalona’s “Super Proxy," which the singer sang with Pupil frontman and friend Ely Buendia. “God bless sir Kiko... [As the song] super proxy [says] there’s no substitute for the real," cr4y0n1 wrote. Meanwhile, “ceefive" of San Pedro, Laguna, was more poetic with her message, “At noon today you've bid goodbye, God is good, He's heard your cry; He knows what's best for everybody, May comfort be with your family." - Mark Joseph Ubalde, GMANews.TV
