Maxene Magalona marked the celebration of World Mental Health Day by releasing her own version of “Kaleidoscope World,” one of the hit songs of the late Master Rapper Francis Magalona. 

The actress spoke about how she spent her father’s birthday last Oct. 4 by recording the song, as per Maxene’s Instagram page on Sunday.. Maxene also reminded fans to check up on their friends who might be struggling with their mental health.

“This was one of Francis M’s most popular anthems back in the 90s with a message so powerful and timeless,” she said. “I thought of creating this version together with some of my artist friends as a gentle reminder that we are all connected to each other in love, peace and harmony.”

“We are not just here to survive. We are here to thrive and feel all the way alive,” she added.

In a separate post, Maxene expressed gratitude to the band who were part of her “dream project,” noting how they embodied “teamwork, unity and love” with their participation in the song.

“I’m so grateful to this group of amazing artists who helped me bring this dream project to life. To hold space for each other and be able to create and express ourselves freely as artists is the kind of energy our environment would have if we were living in peace and harmony,” she stated. “This is the Kaleidoscope World.”

Aside from Maxene, Francis was also honored by his wife Pia and their daughter Saab on his birthday as they looked back at their old photos of him. EDV
