Woman reveals alleged relationship with Francis Magalona, goes public with their daughter

A former flight attendant has revealed her alleged relationship with the late King of Pinoy Rap, Francis Magalona, and their teenage daughter.

During the latest episode of “Pinoy Pawnstars” by Boss Toyo, Abigail Rait from Imus, Cavite, an alleged lover of Francis M., and her daughter Francesca, visited the shop to sell a jersey given to them by the Pinoy rapper.

Abigail initially shared her story of how she met Francis M.

“Nanood ako ng Eat Bulaga. Doon nakita niya ako tapos gumawa siya ng way to get my number. And then doon na nag-start yung story. Mga 2006 or 200,” she said.

Then she narrated the story behind the possession of the jersey.

“There’s a story behind this jersey. Actually, it’s an untold story. Nakita n’yo naman sa letter na i love you so much. So meaning, may relationship.

“Noong nagka-anak kami, buntis ako noon, siyempre nagka-anak. And that’s her (referring to her daughter standing beside her). Her name is Gail Francesca. Siya ang nagpangalan sa kanya. Gail (from Abigail), Francis, (to Francesca).

“Buntis na ako tapos busy siya. US tour with Eat Bulaga. Nagrereklamo na ako sobrang busy (sya) na wala ng time for me. One time umuwi siya sa Cavite sa bahay, nagtataka ako suot niya itong jersey pagbaba niya ng kotse.Usually kasi kung ano ang suot niya sa show, or minsan after Eat Bulaga, derecho na siya sa Cavite to visit me.

“Nagtaka ako bakit suot mo yan? Sabi niya, mamaya. Pagdating namin sa room, sabi niya, okay baby mama, yun ang tawag niya sa akin. Gusto ko kasi maalala mo itong jersey na ito hanggang suot ko. Para everytime mamiss mo ako, you just have to wear it or hug it, or place it beside you bago ka matulog.

“Aug. 4 nagpa executive check-up siya. Parang early premonition na yun. Nagpa-alam siya magpapa-executive check-up daw siya. Inamin niya rin na may cancer siya. Yan ang story ng shirt na yan,” she recalled.

Abigail was told by Francis: “I-keep mo yan. That’s for you. That’s for our baby.”

She added: “Noong nasa hospital siya lagi siyang tumatawag. Noong nanganak ako Sept. 8. Sobrang gumuho talaga yung time ko noon. Ang dami niyang plano tapos bigla siyang nagkasakit. Pinakamahirap na part yung situation ko. Hindi ako puwedeng lumabas. Ayoko naman dagdagan dahil may sakit na.”

Abigail mentioned that the most difficult thing for her was to keep her relationship private.

“For 15 years, nanahimik ako. I didn’t say anything about me and my daughter. Siguro eto na lang yung karapatan na pwede kong magawa para sa kanya.

“Kasi hindi naman ako nagsalita eh. I know people will judge me. But we exist. What we had is real. We exist. Mahal niya kami and that’s a fact,” Abigail said.

Abigail expressed her immense pride for her daughter’s versatile talents in singing, dancing, painting, drawing, and rapping. “First time niyang magperform at naiiyak ako kasi nakita ko ang papa niya sa kanya. She can dance, sing, paint and draw. She’s also a rapper.”

Francis M. passed away on March 6, 2009.

Abigail sold the jersey for P500,000. She believes that Boss Toyo’s shop is the best place to display the jersey after watching his vlogs. — Robert Requintina
