12:00nn today, March 06, 2009, a shocking news quaked the entertainment industry. Francis "Kiko" Magalona or better know as Francis M. died of Leukemia.I am not, of any degree, connected to the Kiko, but his masterpieces, the music he created, made me decide to do this blog entry today.
I am not dwelling with his death, instead, I'll highlight the music the legacy he left for the country.
Dubbed as the Master Rapper, Kiko and his music created a better world for the Filipinos, beyond poverty, discrimination, and indifference.
I say, he is a genuine music icon, the music icon.
I grew up with his music - from "Mga Kababayan" to "Kaleidoscope World" - and it has truly strengthened by faith to the Filipino race, to its home-grown talents such as Kiko Magalona.
He may be gone, but his music will continue inspiring today's youth and the generations to come.
I will proudly tell this story to my sons and grandsons, that once in my life, a pure Filipino music from Francis Magalona inspired and boosted the nationalism of the Philippines.
