Rapper-TV host Francis Magalona died of leukemia Friday at the Medical City in Mandaluyong, Vic Sotto, his co-hosts at the GMA Network’s noontime show “Eat Bulaga” said. Francis was 44.

Magalona is the son of popular 1950s movie tandem Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran.

“I don’t want a media circus. I want privacy with my family,” Francis said in a phone interview with the Philippine Media, after reports of his illness broke out.

Francis’ wife, Pia Arroyo-Magalona, said her husband started exhibiting symptoms in March this year. “It was very gradual, hindi siya biglaang lumabas [it didn't manifest right away].”
