When I was still a little kid I remember receiving a letter for my older sister...
And it was a fan mail from the Man from Manila and the Master Rapper himself, Francis Magalona.
I may not be one of his biggest fans and certainly not a fan of rap music, but I do like his songs, I personally like "Mga kababayan ko" and "Kaleidoscope world" because the message of the song about being a Filipino and being proud of it.
For me, he's not just an ordinary Man from Manila, he's an true artist, icon and a legend to the Filipino music industry. His love for the country is heard and expressed in his music. And as for me being a music lover, I really appreciate and love the music that he shared to the Filipinos and to the world.
Mar. 6, came as a shock as I heard that Francis M passed away... It really came as a shock. I know that he's diagnosed with Leukemia but I didn't see it coming... It really is a sad sad day... :(
Now that Francis M has already joined our Creator, may his music and legacy lives on forever...

Thank you Francis M for sharing your music. We'll gonna miss you.
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
