However, some things are not meant to last. In 2022, Maxene and her husband came to a mutual decision to put an end to their journey to forever. As she contemplates these life events, Maxene writes a poignant digital letter to the first love of her life – her father, the late master rapper Francis Magalona.</p><p>For the first time, Maxene shares her first love story in an exclusive Valentine’s Day video with PLDT Home. </p><p>In this video, Maxene opens up about her love story – the painful heartbreak and the joyful hope that she chose to embrace. Admitting that she felt overwhelmed in her 20s and pressured to settle down, she thought she was on the right path. She had to learn her lessons the hard way. </p><p>When faced with challenges, Maxene is never the one to back down. She believes that her father’s love continues to guide her.  </p><p>For most women, their father is their first love. It is true for Maxene, after all, she has always been a daddy’s girl. He was her standard, not only when it came to the ideal man, but more so, her benchmark when it came to relationships in general. “In this journey to forever, your love keeps me going and growing. Because you loved me first, I can now share that same authentic love with others.” Maxene writes.</p><p>In her letter, Maxene recalls the many lessons from Francis M, whom she fondly calls “Pop,” such as how heartbreak and pain are part of life, getting to know the person first before diving into a commitment, and how love is about acceptance and non-judgment. Through his father’s example, Maxene learns how to love and be loved “authentically and unapologetically.”</p><p>These recollections bring her to a hopeful realization to find love again someday, as she writes “I will never give up. I will never lose hope. I know deep in my heart that I will find my true love one day because you showed me what true love is all about.” Maxene closes her letter with deep gratitude and affection for her dad for his undying love. Even though Francis M. has been gone for many years now, Maxene knows and feels that her dad is still with her on her journey to forever. After all, first love never dies, and Francis was #herfirstlove.</p><p>Be inspired and share your own #herfirstlove story.
