RIP Man From Manila

Last tuesday night i was out with cousins. Nagpunta kami sa CityWalk na ngaun ay Kanela na. They were playing this song:

"Every color, every hue,
Is represented by me and you.
Take a slide in the slope,
Take a look at the kaleidoscope.
Spinnin round, make it whirl
In this kaleidoscope world.."

Nagising ako kanina around 12 na ata. tanghali na. As i was watching tv, it was announced that Francis M died due to leukemia.

Pagkatapos ko malaman na magpeperform sya sa concert ng eraserheads bukas, nakakagulat na mabalitaan na sumuko na pala ang tinatawag nilang master rapper.

Kanino ba naten narinig ang mga lines na:

"Tayo'y mga pinoy,
Tayo'y hindi kano.
Huwag kang mahihiya,
Kung ang ilong mo ay, PANGO."

Sinu ba ang nagpasikat ng song na "Three Stars and a Sun"? Tumutukoy sa mga symbols na nakalagay sa Philippine flag.

Kanino ba natutunan ng mga bata ngayon na magsuot ng damit na may nakadrawing na mapa ng Pilipinas? o kaya naman nakalagay ang phrase na "i love PINAS" or "i am PINOY"?

Nakakalungkot lang isipin na hanggang dun na lang ang binigay na time sa kanya para ispread ang value of Nationalism.

He's got a lot of accomplishments. he's a good example to every one. to every Filipinos, from his nationalistic music hits to his statement tees..

He has done a great job. The man should be admired.

And may he rest in peace..
