Ice Seguerra announced on Facebook that his mother, Mommy Caring, passed away on Friday morning.

“This morning, at 7:54 AM, our family said goodbye to the most amazing woman I’ve ever known: my mom, Mommy Caring,” Ice said in the public post.

Ice looked back on Caring’s “full and beautiful life,” and said that she was always there for him. Ice called her, “my first teacher, my constant cheerleader. My rock.”

“She was strong, kind, funny in her own quiet way, and always, always there. Mula bata pa ako hanggang ngayon, she never left my side. Every show, every gig, every milestone, she was there. She was always present,” Ice said.

“Papadalhan ako ng mga paborito kong pagkain, masahe kapag masakit ang ulo ko. She made sure she was there kahit may sarili na kaming mga buhay. Walang palya.”

Ice added that Caring supported him not just in his career as an artist, but as her child.

“She was my fiercest protector. She accepted me and embraced me for who I am, especially who I am not,” Ice said.

“Losing her this morning feels like losing a part of myself,” he added.

Ice also said that he promised his mom to be brave as he faces life’s challenges, a quality he learned from her.

“I won’t fail you. Promise ko ‘yun,” Ice said.

The cause of death was not revealed. Caring is survived by Ice and his brother, Juan Carlos Miguel.

Ice said wake details will be announced soon. He asked for prayers and love for their family, especially for Caring.

“Salamat po sa lahat ng nakasama namin sa buhay niya. Salamat sa lahat ng nagmahal at tinuturing din siyang nanay. You all made her very happy,” Ice said.

“We’ll miss you forever, Mama. Pero magkasama na kayo ni Daddy. And that gives me comfort,” he added. “Mahal na mahal kita, mama ko.”
