Singer, Actor, and Producer Francis Magalona confirmed that he’s ill with Leukemia a few days ago. It’s really sad things like this happen because it’s a brutal truth that will forever haunt human life - we are all prone to sickness regardless of our job, color, build, or education. The best we can do is to try to live life as much as we can and in the process try to lower the chances of getting sick. I would like to take this chance to offer a silent prayer to one of my favorite Pinoy rappers.

Francis’ official statement after the jump.

“Sa lahat ng mga dabarkads ko dito sa Eat Bulaga miss ko na kayong lahat. Araw-araw, magkakasama tayo at kayo’y naging second family ko na. Pati na rin ang lahat ng mga viewers sa mga bahay at sa studio. Ngayon, meron akong isang pagsubok na dapat daanan at ang hiling ko lang ay pangunawa at suporta. I have been diagnosed with leukemia and I am preparing for my treatment. Sa tulong ng Panginoon, kakayanin ko poi to. Abangan nyo ang aking pagbabalik. Di ko lang kayo miss, lab ko kayo lahat.”

Get well soon Francis. We’re all praying for you.
