Ginunita ni Maxene Magalona ang kaarawan ng yumaong amang si Master Rapper Francis Magalona nitong nakaraang October 4 at sa pakiramdam niya ay ‘nagparamdam’ ito sa kanya noong araw na ‘yun.

Sa kanyang mahabang Instagram post, ikinuwento ni Maxene ang kanyang karanasan sa mismong birthday ng ama.

“This was a very meaningful day for me. It would’ve been my Pop’s 58th birthday and ever since we lost him in 2009, we’ve been honoring his spirit every year on his birthday by tuning in to his energy which we are so grateful we can easily do because of his legendary music,” ang simula ni Maxene.

“Just like he said in one of his interviews, ‘I am lucky to have been a recording artist and one day when I leave this world, just like the names I mentioned, my voice will be heard. Always.

At a touch of a button or switch, I am 'alive' again. In essence music is life. Music is immortality,’” patuloy niya.

At ikinuwento na nga niya ang ‘pagpaparamdam’ ng ama nang bumili siya ng drink sa isang coffee shop.

“On his birthday this year, I was vibing to his music on my way to a shoot that I did for #WorldMentalHealthDay and when I stopped for some green tea at @starbucksph, I received a customer receipt for an additional free drink! All I had to do was answer a quick survey online.

Apparently, this only happens by chance and it was the first time I experienced it so I really believe it was Papa who gave me that free drink because it was his birthday,” kuwento ni Maxene.

Pagkatapos daw ng trabaho niya ay nag-dinner sila ng mga kapatid sa isa sa mga paboritong restaurants ng ama noong nabubuhay pa ito.

Sa bandang huli ay naging madamdamin na ang kuwento ni Maxene nang alalahanin niya ang naging pagdurusa ng ama hanggang sa yumao ito.

“My father was no stranger to trauma and experienced his fair share of pain and suffering all throughout his life. Just like most of us, he really didn’t know how to deal with it nor heal it. He was always optimistic, though. He kept transforming his pain into power by continuously creating different forms of art. He never gave up.

“Sadly, he passed away because there was also a part of him that kept betraying himself and what his soul truly wanted. So much negative energy got stuck and stagnant in his system that his physical body eventually got sick,” pagbabalik-tanaw ni Maxene.

Bilang pagtatapos ay ipinahayag ng aktres na inaalay niya sa ama ang patuloy na paglaban niya sa buhay.

“This is why I want to heal myself as much as possible and offer my healing as a way of honoring my Pop’s spirit and legacy as well.

"I love you, Pop. This is for you,” aniya.
