One of the best childcare manhwas I've ever read. My heart isn't ready to say goodbye. 🥹 I'll miss little Mori and the entire cast. I really, really hope we get a Season 2 someday. I need to see more of Lily and her Star Dad, they deserved so many more moments together. ❤️
Welp, <On the way to meet mom> has officially ended
Author revealed that she planned to surprise readers by releasing the final 2 side story chapters together after thinking the final chapter had been delayed until next week, she discovered it had already been uploaded BYE 😭💔
Just found out most of my office batchmates have either left the company or moved to another dept. 😔 Eto talaga ‘yung downside ng WFH — di man lang nakapag-chikahan bago sila umalis. #feelingLeftBehind#nonClosureSyndrome
Patricia Madison wrote a wonderful analysis of the ICC case that’s now being passed around everywhere. In case you haven’t seen it, allow me to quote parts of it, to enlighten everyone on the basis of arrest of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte:
Patricia writes:
“For years, we’ve been hearing about “Duterte’s mass killings” and how his distractors and the ICC is coming for him with a strong case. Given all the noise, I decided to read it myself. My findings?
It’s embarrassing how weak and sloppy it is.
BASIS FOR ICC ARREST
1 ) The Alleged Crimes
This is it? This is ‘crimes against humanity’?!
The warrant claims that:
* At least 19 people (allegedly drug pushers or thieves) were killed by the Davao Death Squad in different locations.
* At least 24 other people (allegedly criminals, drug pushers, or users) were killed from 2011 to 2018 (8 years).
That’s a total of 43 deaths over nearly a decade.
This is what they’re calling ‘crimes against humanity’? The Ampatuan Massacre had 58 deaths in one day, and our very own Philippine courts handled it.
Meanwhile, actual genocides and mass executions happen worldwide, and the ICC conveniently looks the other way.
But here’s where it gets even funnier.
The media, human rights groups, and anti-Duterte crowd have spent years throwing around random numbers—6,000, 30,000, 50,000—shouting about “mass EJKs.”
And yet, NONE of these numbers appear in the ICC warrant.
So why haven’t they been parading the actual case details? Because it COMPLETELY DESTROYS THEIR ANTI-DUTERTE NARRATIVE.
What then exactly have his critics been screaming about all these years? It’s all propaganda parroted by those who just hate Duterte but have absolutely no clue of what they’re talking about.
2 ) “Indirect Co-Perpetrator”
Wait, so he’s not even the mastermind?
The warrant claims that there are “reasonable grounds” to believe Duterte was an “indirect co-perpetrator.”
Not the leader.
Not the mastermind.
Not even directly involved.
Basically, the ICC is saying: “We don’t have proof he gave the orders, but we’ll charge him anyway.”
So they spent years making Duterte the “face of EJKs,” and now that they’re actually filing a case, they can’t even name him as the direct perpetrator?
3) The ‘Lambada Boys’ Mess
Can they even get their own story straight?
The warrant claims that in 1998, Duterte created the ‘Lambada Boys’, a so-called death squad made up of police officers and hitmen tasked with killing criminals. Then, in the very next sentence, it says that in the early 1990s, the Lambada Boys were renamed as the Davao Death Squad.
Wait—so was it created in 1998 or in the early 1990s?
Imagine writing a 15-page document and contradicting yourself within two sentences. You’d think an international court would at least proofread its own case, but here we are.
This is a poorly written political fan fiction, not an arrest warrant.
The ICC, the anti-Dutertes, the media, and human rights groups just embarrassed themselves.
The entire case is a joke. The media and Duterte’s critics spent years hyping up mass killings, only for the actual case to be about allegedly 43 deaths over 8 years—a number so small, they don’t even want to talk about it.
If this is the best they can do, no wonder Duterte was oddly chill throughout this entire ordeal.
The world is now his audience, and the ICC just set the stage for him to tear apart their weak case on the global stage.
Let the man speak. Let the world listen. And let the cards fall where they may.”
The ICC has no right to detain Duterte—we’re not even a member, and we have our own justice system. This is just political interference, not real justice! Bring back our beloved President Duterte!
#BringHimHome#WeStandWithFPRRD#RespetoSaSoberanyaNgPilipinas
Mr R. Duterte is only a suspect who allegedly commited the alleged crimes in his country. Sending him abroad by force and without due legal process is a damn right KIDNAPPING!

From Japanese news
They called BBM a liar and even showed the timeline when he lied that he wouldn’t cooperate with the ICC.
Japan also knows that Marcos want to bring down Duterte due to the upcoming elections and Martin’s plan to be President
International media knows! 👏
Galit kami. Magpo-post talaga kami ng sangkatutak. Organic kasi kami.
E yung mga troll farm nyo. Di-metro mga yan. Dagdagan nyo muna budget sa kanila para makasabay sa amin.
Problema, pera namin yang nilulustay nyo.
The Philippines does not have a functioning Justice system. This is what Bongbong Marcos has admitted to the country that had the horrid bad sense to vote you into office. This too is what he has admitted to the world: he destroyed our Justice System.
Seriously, the @ICC is really a mercenary org pretending to dispense justice.
It is not really interested in punishing those who committed actual crime against humanity.
But only those who it can lay its hand on… or who was turned over to it, in exchange for its relevance.
Potus @realDonaldTrump knows it.
“Nobody denied collateral damage happened. But acknowledging reality ≠ justifying recklessness. The question is never "Did bad things happen?"—the question is "Was the action necessary, justified, and did it serve the greater good?"
✅ Every major crackdown has collateral damage. Sorry, masakit but that’s the reality of the world we live in.
- Military operations against terrorists? Civilians get caught in crossfire.
- Pandemic lockdowns? People lose jobs, some even die from lack of access to healthcare.
- Any aggressive government action has unintended consequences—does that mean we do nothing?
✅ Were these "EJKs" as rampant as they claim?
- Media loves to throw around the term extrajudicial killings to create outrage, but let’s be real, many of the cases lumped under "EJKs" were either legitimate police operations, internal purges within drug syndicates, or cases still unverified.
- If the government was systematically executing thousands, where’s the hard evidence? Where’s the paper trail? The ICC couldn’t even build a solid case beyond media reports.
✅ What’s their alternative?
- "We should focus on rehabilitation!" Sure, but how do you rehab drug lords, armed cartel leaders, and corrupt officials protecting them?
- "We need due process!" Okay, and what do you do when the system itself is so corrupt that criminals buy their way out?
Here’s what people like you don’t get: THE COST OF INACTION IS ALWAYS HIGHER.
The question is never "What if innocent people die in a crackdown?" The real question is: "How many innocent lives are lost if we let crime run rampant because we're too scared to act?"
You want to talk about victims? Start with the families destroyed by drugs while politicians before Duterte turned a blind eye.”

The sick man of Asia has now become the laughing stock of the world, all thanks to you BBM.
Isa kang malaking kahihiyan sa duyan ng magiting. Sampu ng ating mga ninunong nakipaglaban para sa soberanya ng bayan, isinusumpa ka namin.
President Trump (@realDonaldTrump ), the illegitimate, baseless and overreaching ICC has taken your friend President Rodrigo Duterte (the father of Philippines VP @indaysara ). I request that you somehow rescue the great Philippine hero who fought criminals in his nation. 🇵🇭 🇺🇸
