Abegail Rait and her daughter, Gail Francisca, became viral on social media when they revealed their relationship with the late master rapper Francis Magalona. The mother and daughter decided to come forward after they made the decision to sell a jersey left to them by the master rapper as a memento before he passed away. They approached Boss Toyo, a well-known rapper, vlogger, and owner of Pinoy Pawnstars, where valuable items from famous individuals are collected and treated as collector’s items.
In the video, Abegail and Gail Francisca brought the old jersey, which Francis Magalona had worn and given to Abegail during a time when they rarely saw each other due to his busy schedule. Francis Magalona suggested that she use it when she missed him because she was pregnant at the time. Abegail shared this touching story as one of the premonitions that Francis had before his passing, supported by a dedication note written by Francis on the jersey and several photos of them together, including one with Francis holding their newborn daughter, Francisca.
The initial asking price for the jersey was 700,000 pesos, although Abegail was initially hesitant to state its value. However, they eventually closed the deal at 500,000 pesos. Abegail’s reason for selling the jersey was to preserve it and allow more fans to see it. She also felt it was time for the public to know and recognize her and Francis M’s child after 15 years of keeping their relationship private.
Like Francis, their daughter Francisca is also incredibly talented and has the potential to become a rapper, singer, and even an actress, according to Abegail. In the video, Francisca showcased her rap skills by performing one of her father’s famous songs, “Bagsakan,” with Gloc-9 and Parokya ni Edgar.
Abegail acknowledged that her revelation might lead to negative reactions from some, with some labeling her as a “kabit” (mistress). However, she was prepared to face these reactions.
It’s important to remember that we should respect Abegail’s decision to share her story. While some netizens may have negative reactions, it’s essential to keep in mind that we do not know the full story behind her relationship with Francis Magalona.
There was also an interesting point made by a netizen that Pia Magalona, who was Francis’s manager, had a boyfriend before Francis’s relationship with Abegail.
In a comment or tweet, one observant netizen exposed that even before Abegail and Francis’s relationship was known, some had called her a “mistress.” Allegedly, Pia Magalona had a boyfriend, but this was not revealed because Francis’s manager was Pia herself, and they were focused on managing her career due to the numerous advertisements during that time. So, this netizen suggested that people should stop making negative comments about Abegail.
Abegail’s motivations for coming forward should be respected, and the truth may come to light regarding Pia’s alleged previous relationship in the future.
Alam ng family ni Francis M. They were separated na when it happened. Pia had a rumored bf na that time. Manager lng ni Francis M si Pia kaya may prinoprotek kuno na image at marami ads kaya ingat sila. magsitigil kayo nasa music video pa ni gloc9 yung babae.
