In the recent Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (BSK) elections, Abegail Rait, who claimed to have been in a relationship with the late OPM rapper Francis Magalona, did not secure a win.
Abegail, a former flight attendant, had come forward in October to disclose her previous involvement with Francis M and introduced Gaile Francesca, their alleged daughter who is now 15 years old.
Francis Magalona had passed away on March 6, 2009, at the age of 44, due to acute myeloid leukemia. Abegail Rait ran as a barangay councilor candidate in Brgy. Toclong 2-B, Imus, Cavite, during the BSK elections held on Monday, October 30, 2023. Unfortunately, she was not among the councilors who won seats in the elections.
Abegail’s election campaign results placed her in eighth position in the voting tally, missing out on a seat among the seven victorious councilors.
On her Facebook page, Abegail expressed her appreciation for the supporters who stood by her during the campaign, despite her election loss.
“It is with humble appreciation to all the supporters who fought for us a good battle and rest assured that we are one in serving goodwill with earnest effort to find ways to make our better community to come together. Maraming Salamat sa inyong lahat!” part of her post read.
Abegail’s daughter, Gaile, also expressed support for her mother on her own Facebook page. In a post featuring a photo of the mother-daughter pair, Gaile captioned it with, “We wont close the book but will turn the page and begin new chapter together. I love you Mommy!”
Abegail gained attention when she was featured in the vlog of content creator Boss Toyo on October 17, 2023. In the vlog, she revealed her past relationship with Francis M, introduced her alleged daughter, Gaile, and announced Gaile’s intention to enter showbiz.
However, it seems that the issue of her relationship with Francis M did not help Abegail in securing votes from her constituents in the Barangay Elections.
