This is the intense challenge faced by Francis Magalona’s close friend Robby Tarrosa in his former publicist Kiko’s, Pilar Mateo, confrontation after Pilar contradicted Robby’s exposé regarding the true state of Francis M’s relationship with Pia Arroyo.
Robby released his exposé after Abegail Rait, Francis Magalona’s former lover, and their daughter Gaile Francesca Magalona received heavy criticism following 15 years of silence and non-disclosure to the public. Abegail stated that it was the right time for people to know that they exist, and her daughter has the right to be recognized as the child of Francis Magalona. This revelation led to a lot of public reaction, and Abegail was labeled as a “mistress” since most people knew that Francis was married to Pia, and their children, Mazene and Elmo, were already making names for themselves in showbiz.
Abegail expected a negative response to their disclosure, which did indeed happen. She also mentioned Francesca’s imminent entry into showbiz, where she showcased her rap skills, much like her father, Francis M. Amidst ongoing disputes and mixed reactions from netizens, Robby expressed his grievances and advised Pia not to play the victim card due to her continued silence in this heated issue.
This is the reason Robby posted about the alleged dysfunctional relationship between Pia and Francis and claimed that the two had married while Pia Arroyo already had two children before they got together. Allegedly, the two would often argue, leading to Francis having an affair. It was during this affair that, according to Robby’s account, Francis found true love, as he confided in Robby about his problems during their almost daily meetings back then.
Pilar Mateo, Francis M’s former publicist, opposed these claims and posted a picture purportedly taken at Francis and Pia’s wedding in Hong Kong. In response, Robby challenged Pilar and said, ” so i just found out that pilar Mateo is trying to justify Francis and Pia’s kasal sa hongkong!!’ Mananawagan po ako kung sino mayari ng publication na yan, pls tell her to really think thoroughly . Ate Pilar, kilala mo ako, bago nagawa ang ilong mo na bubulok? tell the truth beif you insist, end of your career! you know naman lahat ang kumalaban sa akin, patay na dai ! matindi ako sa kulam dai! gusto mo?”
The outcome of this story remains uncertain as Robby’s exposé continues, and the challenge to Pilar persists, while Pia’s camp remains silent. Let’s stay tuned for the escalating drama in this story.
