Well, in a plot twist worthy of a telenovela, Sara Duterte has officially declared that her father’s ICC arrest is the unexpected secret sauce behind not one, but two reconciliations.

Yes, you heard it right: the dramatic detainment of a political patriarch has mended broken bonds and even smoothed over a prodigal daughter’s rebellious spirit.

With a charm offensive as subtle as a cannonball, Sara’s diplomatic visits to her former boss and family patriarch have turned a once bitter feud into a tear-jerking reunion tour. In a nod to cosmic irony, she even extended a heartfelt thank you to President Bongbong Marcos—because nothing says “family first” like a well-timed arrest order. After all, blood might be thicker than water, but apparently a dash of international justice is the perfect recipe for political amnesty, proving that in this family drama, rivalries are just distant cameos.

Clearly, chaos often breeds unexpected unity.
