Aside from being a singer-rapper, Francis also produces music videos and wins acclaim for these, too. In 2006, MYX Video Awards gave him the Best Rock Video for his work in Sponge Cola's KLSP. He has also won a trophy at the Hiphop awards as Album Producer of the Year for Rappublic of the Phil. Vol. 2 for Sony BMG.

It is also important to note that in 2006, Francis was the recipient of the coveted Generation Award given by MTV Pilipinas Video Music Awards. It was only the second one given, the first was awarded to another great, Gary Valenciano.

So far, Ely Buendia, Gloc 9, and Shamrock, among others, have had the chance to work with Francis M as music video producer.

Because of his wit and glib tongue, Francis is also a trusted fellow in hosting. An effective host of live events and presentations, on TV, he has been one of Eat Bulaga's dabarkads since 1997. He was a judge in Philippine Idol alongside Pilita Corrales and Ryan Cayabyab in 2006, and a VJ for MTV Asia from 1997 till 2000.

No doubt, give Francis a mic (or a moving camera) and the guy can do wonders with it.

The family man, the artist. Being one of nine Magalona kids, Kiko obviously loves big families. He and wife Pia Arroyo have eight beautiful children: Unna, Nicolo, Francis Jr., Maxene, Isabella, Elmo, Arkin, and Clara.

In his multiply account, a popular one judging from the more than a million hits, he talks about his love for family—his adoration for his wife and kids. Did you know that he gives each of his girls (wife and daughters) a bouquet of flowers every Valentine's Day?

The always-updated entries would fascinate anybody.

He loves dogs, Francis does. The Magalonas have a Whippet (a cross greyhound and small terrier), a Phaedra (bloodline Whippet), a Daschund, a Mini Toy Poodle, and an English Bulldog. The list does not count their kids' Shi-Tzu and Mini Schnauzer.

Other than his love for living creatures, his passion for technology cannot be denied. Francis Magalona loves cameras, loves his Mac laptop, loves his PSP, loves playing Gameboy, the Xbox, we could actually go on and on... In one of his many posts, he described himself as: "A geek at heart, and a gadget boy, a toy collector, a ‘must-have-the-latest-shit' guy."

The artist-techie, aside from having had exhibits in painting, is a proud member of the prestigious Camera Club of the Philippines. Francis is a good photographer.

Another outlet for his creativity is his booming T-shirt business, the FMCC (Francis Magalona Clothing Co.). His 3 Stars & A Sun design has actually been very popular and there is a clamor for more of his shirts. In response, a new shop for his products will be open in Broadway, Quezon City on his birthday, October 4.

As for other facts about Francis M...

He used to play soccer during his high school in Don Bosco and in college, San Beda. He also loves a good game of basketball as much as a round of golf.

He loves good food and is passionate when it comes to movies he likes—he liked Hide and Seek because it stars his idol, Robert de Niro; he cried in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants; and he strongly recommended watching Mr. & Mrs. Smith, "just because I like it."
