How Collusion, Abandonment, and System Failure Stole My Son
Overview
For nearly two years, I was the full-time caregiver for my son while his mother, Anngeneth, was frequently absent and struggling with emotional instability, as seen in her own words. In multiple chat messages, she openly reflected on her own limitations, stating:
“I don’t think I can be a good mother to my son if I am not even myself.”
“You’re the more mature parent.”
“If you think Adri’el has a better future with you in America, I will help process the papers.”
She also wrote:
“You don’t deserve me at all… Despite what I have done recently… Things may not end so well between us but I am hoping I can gain your trust again and be at least civil in handling our co-parenting situation soon… I understand all of your trust issues right now (I caused that)… me who abandoned the family…”
(additional chat logs available)
Through both her words and behavior, she stepped back from parenting — leaving the home for extended periods, prioritizing other relationships, and rarely participating in day-to-day childcare. Despite this, I kept every door open for her to remain involved with our son — emotionally, physically, and relationally. I even remained in Bacong, instead of returning to the U.S., so Adri’el could still grow up with his mother nearby.
The only boundary I set was to protect our son from further emotional harm. I limited unsupervised visits until there was clear consistency and stability on her part — a decision she understood and agreed to at the time.
But behind the scenes, while giving the appearance of cooperation, a smear campaign began. False claims were circulated among friends, family, and local officials. This campaign, paired with personal connections and assumptions, led to off-the-record actions: Barangay staff, DSWD workers, and police began treating me like a criminal without any case filed, without mediation, and without fact-checking.
On February 17, 2025, while I was moving into a new home with our son, he was taken behind my back — with the involvement of her family and certain officials.
There was no complaint.
No custody hearing.
No court order.
Only silence — and erasure.
Since then, I’ve been met with closed doors, ignored requests, and silence from institutions tasked with protecting families. But I will not be silenced. And I will not abandon my son to a lie.
Timeline of Events
📅 BEFORE THE CONCEALMENT
- 2023–2024: Anngeneth frequently leaves for “crochet class” and is seen involved in SwissHumanity events while the child is left in the care of her mother.
- Multiple chat logs confirm her emotional instability and voluntary absence.
- Admission of previously signing 6 month rental lease with her boyfriend prior to July 2024, with relations, according to first-hand witnesses, dating back to Christmas week 2023.

📅 FEBRUARY 17, 2025 — THE DAY OF THE CONCEALMENT
- While I was moving our belongings into a new independent home a few blocks away, my son was left briefly with his grandmother.
- Upon return, I was told they “went to the city” and “would return later that evening.”
- Barangay captain Corazon Tindog and secretary Karen Llano witnessed me report the concealment but told me to “come to their office tomorrow,” as if not alarmed or concerned. My next day visit was met with resistance to mediate or neutralize the problem.
- No court order, complaint, or verified claim existed.
📅 AFTERMATH
- Feb 18–20: I attempt to file blotter with Bacong Police. Rejected.
- A public Facebook post launched on February 18–20, falsely portraying me as abusive and dangerous — including labels never filed in court or supported by evidence, and supposedly backed by DSWD and police.
- BPO’s were issued to silence me from posting publicly (first / second).
- Transparency requests to Barangay and DSWD go unanswered or are evaded.
- Multiple agencies confirm: no court case, no legal basis, no filings — yet they enabled the concealment anyway.
Proof of No Court Case or Custody Ruling

- Supreme Court OCA acknowledges receipt of my complaint against BPO misuse and DSWD overreach.
- Police and DSWD all confirm: no formal case exists for any of their actions, while Sacsac Barangay, while met with intense resistance for the request, has exceeded the 15 working day transparency request, submitted to them May 2, 2025.
Proof of Institutional Collusion & Obstruction
- Bacong Police rejected three blotter attempts and misrepresented DSWD as a ‘prosecutor.’
- Sacsac Barangay never called for mediation and violated transparency laws.
- DSWD issued no case number, refused to provide documentation, and participated in a backdoor custody switch without legal process.
