Aside from the family of the "Master Rapper" there was his colleagues in the showbiz industry Dangerous Drugs Board Chairman Vicente "Tito" Sotto III, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon: the notable TVJ of showbiz.
This award was presented to Francis Magalona due to his excellence and patriotism indeed in the art of singing and composing songs with themes of heroism, nationalism and patriotism. Indeed the "Master Rapper" is an excellent example for the youth.
