Filipino mom turns into a volcano of joy after realizing that the girl secretly recording her was her returning daughter!

Going from suspicious to feeling irritated and then experiencing a sudden burst of joy - all within seconds - is totally expected when a long-distance loved one just pops up out of the blue.

"I am an international student in Canada and when I was on my term break, I decided to book a flight back to the Philippines to surprise my mom," the filmer, Dary Joy Son explained to WooGlobe. "I teamed up with my brother and sister-in-law to pull it off. They 'invited' mom to eat."

At first, Dary takes a seat at another table and pretends to be a brat filming the subjects without their permission. Her mom, Norma Acerto doesn't seem to be a fan of someone secretly recording her.

The look of annoyance on her face gets more evident as she takes a couple more looks at the recorder before realizing that she was none other than the apple of her eye, her daughter!

And that's when she springs out of her chair and dashes straight to give the returnee a long-awaited 'momma's hug.'
