Podcaster Saab Magalona shared a touching message she "received" from her late father, Francis Magalona, on her 10th wedding anniversary with husband Jim Bacarro. 

On her social media page, Saab posted a photo of herself and her husband from their pre-dinner date where a server gave them a complimentary gift.

“Last Friday, Jim and I had some pre-dinner cocktails and towards the end, the server gave us dessert on the house,” Saab shared.


The server, recognizing Saab as Francis's daughter, treated them to a special tribute to the late rapper. The dessert featured the title of Francis's hit song, “3 Stars and the Sun”.

“He said he realized who I was and that he loves my dad (see plate),” she added. “I’ve noticed that Pop always somehow finds a way to make me feel his presence especially during big moments in my life.”

Cherishing the indirect message from her father, she said, “Thanks for the 10th wedding anniversary greeting, pop!!”

She also extended her gratitude to the server for making their anniversary more special.

“And thanks to the sweet guy for the free cake and for letting me feel my dad’s love on our big milestone 🥰,” she added.


Saab’s post touched the hearts of her followers and they shared their sentiments in the comment section.

“Love it when these kinds of things happen, reminds us that love really is transcendent 💖,” a fan expressed.

A follower remarked, “This is so sweet. This is really God's working. ❤️”

Actress Rica Paralejo also commented, “Awww nakakaiyak.”


Last weekend, Saab and Jim celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary by sharing heartfelt messages on their social media accounts.

“10 years married!!✨ Still ded na ded 4 u @jimbacarro ❤️,” Saab wrote with photos of her and Jim throughout the years.


Jim, on the other hand, shared a nostalgic post about their journey from young love to building a family

“I love looking at old photos of us—just two lost kids; nagkakalat, with nothing figured out except how much we loved each other and how hopeful we were for the future,” Jim recalled.

“Back then, we dreamed about the life we could build together, and now here we are, actually living it out. What a ride it has been; happy 10 @saabmagalona ❤️,” he added.


Saab and Jim currently have a podcast "Wake Up with Jim and Saab" which tackles everything under the sun, deepening their relationship and helping them connect with a larger community. They launched their podcast show back in 2018.

"For two introverts like us, it was so cool kasi puro introvert din 'yung mga podkids," Jim said, referring to their loyal listeners.

Meanwhile, Saab and her family marked the 15th anniversary of Francis Magalona's passing last year. Saab, her mother Pia, and her sister Maxene visited his grave, reflecting on his lasting impact.

“As the years go on, I thank God that He is in my heart, by my side, to guide me. As always, what motivates me is our family, as it was when you were around,” Saab’s mom, Pia Magalona wrote.

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go,” Saab’s sister Maxene Magalona also shared in a separate post.
