In the ongoing and seemingly never-ending issue surrounding the King of Rap in the Philippines, Francis Magalona, it appears that evidence has emerged, particularly after Maxene Magalona released a video where she is seen with her father, Francis Magalona, freestyle rapping joyfully in a car. This video may be Maxene’s response to the recent write-ups, especially in connection with what is referred to as “Huling Paalam” (Last Goodbye) by Francis, which some believe was directed towards his youngest daughter, Gaile Francesca Magalona. Gaile recently emerged in the public eye and introduced herself as the daughter of the late rapper, alongside her mother, in a vlog by Boss Toyo from Pinoy Pawnstars.
While the Magalonas have not issued an official statement, it’s evident that they are dealing with emotional turmoil, especially after Robby Tarroza’s explosive revelation that Francis Magalona had a supposed affair with Pia while being married to his first wife and having two children. This claim was immediately countered by Francis Magalona’s former publicist, Pilar Mateo, along with the release of pictures from Francis and Pia’s wedding in Hong Kong.
Maxene Magalona is one of the most well-known children of Francis Magalona, along with Elmo. She entered showbiz and continues to have various projects, including modeling. In her Instagram post, Maxene shared a video from her childhood where she rapped with her father, Francis M, in a freestyle session. In the caption, she used the words “Daddy’s Girl Maxene.” To me, this conveys Maxene’s desire to showcase her love for her father and how happy they were during their time together, which contrasts with the issues that have surfaced recently.
