This is my second personal tribute to the late great Francis "Kiko" Magalona.

Here he is with a different silhouette, again with the colors and symbols he so proudly brandished.

Francis Magalona
(October 4, 1964 - March 6, 2009)

...also known as FrancisM, Master Rapper, and The Man From Manila, was a Filipino rapper, songwriter, producer, actor, director, and photographer.

Often hailed as the "King of Pinoy Rap", he was considered a legend in the Philippine music community. With the success of his earliest albums, he was the first Filipino rapper in the Philippines to cross over to the mainstream. He is also credited for having pioneered the merging of rap with Pinoy rock, becoming a significant influence to artists in that genre as well. He was also a television host on MTV Asia and on noontime variety television show Eat Bulaga!

Magalona died seven months after being diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia.
