Francis Magalona passed away this March 6, 2009 at 12:00 noon. Francis M. is best remembered with his composition "Mga Kababayan" - a rap about Pinoy nationalism. This song elevated OPM (original Pilipino music) to a higher level that even the alta sociedad has loved to listen to. Francis M is best know as the Master Rapper. His songs always express values like love, unity, and nationalism contrasting most raps that do not make sense. Francis M was also known as Kiko. His music and culture has been known as Francism, based on his name Francis M. You can read Kiko's blog at. magalona.com  where he wrote about his battle against the killer cancer leukemia.  [Photo credits: www.igma.tv  ] My favorite among Kiko's songs is Kaleidoscope World. You can watch its beautiful video  here at YouTube . The lyric follows. Kaleidoscope World by Francis M. So many faces, so many races Different voices, different choices Some are mad, while others laugh Some live alone with no bet...

"Itaktak Mo" is a novelty song composed by comedian/host Joey de Leon of Eat Bulaga. This started when a group of older women from the audience of Eat Bulaga was asked to dance. One of the women shouted "Itaktak mo!". Not understanding what it meant, Joey asked the woman, who asked the other woman to demonstrate. The woman did the dance step, which is similar to dribbling a basketball. The dance "Itaktak Mo" has three versions: Once choreographed for the EB Babes, a Sex Bomb version, and another choregraphed by the Abstract Dancers for the Starstruck 4. To listen to the music with a demo of the dance step, here's a link to youtube.com. The version below is by the Abstract/Starstruck version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ3jex4kZ7E
