This news was a shock to me. I knew he was sick but I’d always felt he’ll survive it. Francis Magalona was one of the entertainers I truly admire because all his music are fun, easy to follow, and most importantly, with SUBSTANCE.
Below is the Youtube version of EAT BULAGA’s announcement of his passing:
Although his rap song “Mga Kababayan Ko” made him really popular, I have many other faves and one of them is Kaleidoscope World:
If you know the tune, play the video and sing it with me. Lyrics inside this post….
Kaleidoscope World
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin’ round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can’t talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don’t ask me how don’t ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin’ round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Paalam, pareng Kiko… :(

masakit ispin bakit nangyayari ito sa mga alam ko o natin sa mga mabubuting tao.
isang malaking kaplastikan sa sarili ko kung di ko aamining di ako apektado sa nangyari…

We were watching the show last Friday when suddenly after the commercial break yung lahat ng host nandun in serious mode, so we thought may nangyari sa isa sa mga hosts nila. Then Vic mentioned Francis M, OMG! We thought he could survive. Di bale, he’s in the best place now. RIP Kiko.
