Great news for friends and fans all over the world of Master Rapper Francis Magalona: his health condition is improving.  That’s news straight from the Man from Manila himself.  In a phone interview with GMA show biz talk show Startalk, Francis M. said that he is looking forward to being out of the hospital soon.
The rapper-TV host disclosed recently that he has been diagnosed with leukemia and that he needed to start tests and treatment. 

Before Francis M. went on leave from GMA’s Eat Bulaga, he left a message for his fans. Vic Sotto, his Eat Bulaga co-host, read the Master Rapper’s message which in part said: “Ngayon, meron akong isang pagsubok na dapat daanan at ang hiling ko lang ay pang-unawa at suporta. I have been diagnosed with leukemia and I am preparing for my treatment. Sa tulong ng Panginoon, kakayanin ko po ito.”
Since that heart-wrenching disclosure on Eat Bulaga, Francis has been accommodating enough with the occasional phone interviews featured in a few GMA shows.  
His daughter Maxene, who co-stars in the new GMA drama series Una Kang Naging Akin, added in a recent interview with GMA news program 24 Oras that Francis has in fact gained weight while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Manila.
Maxene thanked the EB family and everyone who supported her father, especially those who donated blood. “Talagang strong pa sya,” she added in her 24 Oras interview.
Francis said in his message read on Eat Bulaga, “With the help of God, watch out for my return. Di ko lang kayo miss, love ko kayong lahat.”
