July 27 ------ Gloc-9 looked back on his close relationship with the late Francis Magalona, sharing that Master Rapper even lent him money to sustain his nursing education back then. In a “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” interview, Gloc-9 opened up about his friendship with Magalona and Andrew E, when asked about his relationship with fellow rappers in the industry. “Noong wala akong tuition fee pang-nursing, kinakapalan ko mukha ko. Sabi ko, ‘Sir Kiks, pwede ba akong mangutang sa’yo?’ Sasabihin niya sa’kin, ‘Daan ka dito sa ‘Eat Bulaga,’ bigyan kita ng pera pang tuition mo,’” Gloc-9 recalled, referring to Magalona using his nickname.
The “Sirena” hitmaker pointed out that Magalona had “no strings attached,” and he made it a point to return the money to not break the late rapper’s trust. “Walang strings attached. Siya ang nagsabi nito. ‘Ang pera kinikita. Ang kaibigan, mahirap.’ I made it a point na ibalik ‘yun,” he said.
Another cherished moment that Gloc-9 had with Magalona is when he asked the latter to be the godfather of his twin children. “Si Sir Kiks ay ibang level. Ninong siya ng aking mga kambal… There was one time noong inimbitahan ko siya sa binyag tapos meron siyang lunch with his family and [kumain sila] malapit d’un sa binyag para maka-attend,” he said. Despite their friendship, Gloc-9 would always consider himself as Magalona’s “number one” fan, and grateful for the chance to be friends with the “Kaleidoscope World” singer as well. “Nahihiya pa rin ako minsan kay Sir Kiks pero kapag nagtetext kami, ang tawag niya sa’kin, anak. Ako’y fan, parang understatement pa nga ang number one fan. Pero ang isang tagahanga ay magkaroon ng relasyon sa kanyang iniidolo ay isang sobrang tagumpay para sa’kin,” he said. On the other hand, Gloc-9 said he is good friends with Andrew E as well, and he would sometimes visit the latter at his home.
