FRANCIS MAGALONA NEEDS BLOOD AND PRAYERS

FRANCIS MAGALONA, the son of the celebrity couple of 50's TITA DURAN AND PANCHO MAGALONA needs lots of blood and prayers.

He was diagnosed with leukemia (cancer of the blood) and is confined at the ICU of Medical City of Pasig.

He is young at age 43 and a father of eight with his wife Pia Arroyo.

“Those willing to donate may do so at the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC) office in Intramuros (just across from The STAR offices),” said Rosa Rosal, in-charge of the PNRC “blood” department, who this year is celebrating her 60th year with the PNRC. (Her daughter, Toni Rose Gayda, is Francis’ Bulaga! co-host.) “We will take care of the blood that Francis needs.”
