Frank Magalona, son of Francis and his wife Pia Magalona, appears to share the same sentiment as a netizen who criticized the late rapper’s alleged secret lover for making their affair public.
Abegail Rait, a former flight attendant, earlier claimed via an episode of the YouTube series “Pinoy Pawnstars” that she had a relationship with the Master Rapper and that they have a 15-year-old love child named Gaile Francesca.
While the Magalona family has yet to publicly comment on this revelation, Frank intrigued netizens after he liked a post from X (formerly Twitter) user @JoselKnow who called Rait a “homewrecker” and “mistress.”
“I find it weird watching the video of ‘Pinoy Pawnstar’ where a homewrecker revealed [her] affair with Francis M., saying, ’15 years akong nanahimik,'” the netizen’s post read. “Of course, you will. You’re a mistress. Duh.”
The X user continued, “And people looking at this woman with sympathy and romanticizing their affair, but all I thought about in that moment was the housewife who fought beside her cheating husband during those years of battling with cancer, all the while trying to hold her family together.”

Some netizens also gave their two cents on the matter, airing similar sentiments with that of user @JoselKnow.
“The FB community siding [with] Francis M’s mistress is insane. The mistress proudly saying ’15 years kami nanahimik’ as she should be,” one @PlushiesForHope said. “I hope people will stop romanticizing this kind of situation. Nakakatrigger ng mental [and] emotional well-being.”
The FB community siding w/ Francis M's mistress is insane. 🤮 The mistress proudly saying "15 years kami nanahimik" as she should be.
Affected ako kasi alam ko pakiramdam. I hope people will stop romanticizing this kind of situation. Nakakatrigger ng mental/emotional well being.

“The people who’s normalizing and romanticizing the issue about Francis M. just show how messed up people’s mindset and mentality is when it comes to these things,” a netizen under username @444_nzcole lamented. “Respect who? Respect what? Respect cheaters and cheating?”

“She has the audacity to say ‘nanahimik kami ng 15 years. We exist.’ I hope she knows that Francis M. [was] married. She chose to be a Kerida,” @islandgirl_808_ said of Rait.
She has the audacity to say “nanahimik kami ng 15 years. We exist.” I hope she knows that Francis M. is married. She chose to be a Kerida.

One @livelikepotter said, “This could be settled privately, [to be honest]. Yes, you deserved to be known that you [and] your daughter exist, but it’s better to have this convo between you [and] Francis M’s family. This should not be everyone’s business.”

“The amount of people looking up to Francis M’s mistress is crazy. I know the kid is not at fault but I can’t stop thinking about his other kids and wife and how they feel about this,” user @immamess_ems tweeted.

Meanwhile, there were others who seemingly came to the defense of Francis and his alleged love child Francesca.
“Sorry, pero di ko gets why people would hate Francis M. The person is no longer here so there’s no reason to hate him or bash him as if makakarating pa sa kanya,” one @jrcltmq argued. “We cannot blame the kid [and] I also cannot blame the mother since she finally said the truth. Behind time but still honest.”

“Don’t be judgmental. We all don’t know the real story behind Francis M’s relationship with his wife and lover. Respect for the deceased,” said one @bengbau. “Don’t bash his daughter; it’s not her fault to be born in this world. All I can say is based from the pics, Kiko loves [his] daughter.”

Some also complimented Francesca who apparently got Francis’ talent in rapping, and commended “Pinoy Pawnstars” owner “Boss Toyo” for revealing Rait’s “untold story.”
