SHOCKING SCENE! Vic Sotto, Sylvia Sanchez, and Dabarkads BROKE DOWN in Tears at Ice Seguerra’s Mom’s Final Night of Wake

In a deeply emotional and heart-wrenching moment that touched the entire Philippine entertainment industry, veteran stars Vic Sotto, Sylvia Sanchez, and several members of the iconic Dabarkads were seen mourning with tears in their eyes as they attended the final night of the wake for Mommy Caring, the beloved mother of singer-actor Ice Seguerra.

The final night of the wake, held in Quezon City, turned into more than just a farewell—it became a powerful tribute to a mother whose quiet strength shaped the life of one of the country’s most admired LGBTQ+ artists. The gathering drew celebrities, politicians, longtime friends, and fans, all of whom came to show love, respect, and support for Ice Seguerra and their family.

A Night of Raw Emotion and Genuine Friendship

Vic Sotto, one of the most respected figures in showbiz and a longtime father figure to Ice Seguerra from their Eat Bulaga days, arrived quietly but was quickly surrounded by fans and media. Despite the crowd, Vic remained composed, offering nothing but words of comfort to Ice and their wife, Liza Diño. His eyes visibly welled with tears during the brief eulogy he gave for Mommy Caring.

“I knew Mommy Caring not just as Ice’s mom, but as a gentle presence behind the scenes,” Vic shared. “She was always there for Ice, and by extension, for all of us who watched Ice grow up.”

Sylvia Sanchez, known for her emotional depth both on-screen and off-screen, couldn’t hold back her tears as she embraced Ice tightly. Sylvia, herself a mother of actors Arjo and Ria Atayde, knew too well the irreplaceable role a mother plays behind every successful artist.

“Ice is strong, but no one is ever ready to say goodbye to their mom,” Sylvia told reporters in between sobs. “Mommy Caring was so proud of Ice. That kind of love is eternal.”

Dabarkads Stand United

Also present were the rest of the Dabarkads who had witnessed Ice Seguerra’s transformation from a cute child star known as Aiza into a confident, courageous artist who proudly represents the LGBTQ+ community. Joey de Leon, Allan K, Paolo Ballesteros, Ryan Agoncillo, and Maine Mendoza all came to show solidarity and affection. Many of them sat quietly during the mass, their eyes focused on the casket, seemingly lost in memories of the past.

One poignant moment occurred when the entire Dabarkads group surrounded Ice in a spontaneous gesture of comfort. There was no showbiz pretense here—just longtime friends expressing real sorrow.

“All those years together on stage, on live TV… you become more than co-hosts or colleagues. You become family,” said Allan K. “We lost a mother figure too.”

Ice Seguerra’s Heartbreaking Tribute

As the final vigil began, Ice stood in front of the gathered mourners, voice trembling, and delivered a moving tribute that left few with dry eyes. They shared stories of Mommy Caring’s kindness, her sacrifices, and the support she gave—even during Ice’s most painful and confusing moments of self-discovery.

“She never once judged me. Not when I cut my hair, not when I told her I was in love with a woman, not when I asked to be called Ice instead of Aiza,” Ice said through tears. “She just looked at me and said, ‘Anak, kung saan ka masaya, dun ako.’”

The heartfelt speech ended with Ice singing “Pagdating ng Panahon,” their breakout hit as a child star. But this time, it was a farewell song for a mother who had always believed in them, even when the world didn’t.

Support from the LGBTQ+ Community and Public Figures

Aside from showbiz personalities, members of the LGBTQ+ community also came to pay respects and honor Mommy Caring’s unconditional acceptance of her child. Her example has become a quiet but powerful symbol of what loving a queer child looks like—complete, unwavering, and without condition.

Liza Diño, Ice’s wife and former Chairperson of the Film Development Council of the Philippines, spoke briefly to the crowd, praising her mother-in-law’s strength.

“She was our rock,” Liza said. “In a world that can be so cruel to people like us, she was a gentle shield.”

Notably, Senator Risa Hontiveros, a vocal ally of the LGBTQ+ community, also made an appearance. “Mothers like Mommy Caring remind us that acceptance starts at home,” she told the press. “It’s how we build a more compassionate society.”

Final Blessing and Farewell

As the final blessings were given, the crowd joined in singing hymns while white flowers were placed near the casket. Some fans lined outside the funeral home, hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrities, but most came to offer silent prayers.

The atmosphere was heavy with grief, yet there was also a sense of peace—of a life well-lived and a legacy that would live on in every performance, every note, and every brave moment Ice Seguerra would make from this day forward.

A Lasting Legacy of Love

In a world where public figures often wear masks, this wake peeled back every layer. It showed us raw humanity—of love between parent and child, of friendships that endure decades, and of a showbiz community capable of deep, sincere support.

Mommy Caring may have never graced the spotlight herself, but the lives she touched—directly and indirectly—will continue to carry her memory. As the curtains slowly close on her wake, one thing is clear: behind every great artist is often an even greater mother.

And for Ice Seguerra, that mother was Mommy Caring.

Rest in peace, Mommy Caring. You will always be remembered in the hearts of those who loved and knew you.
