Below is Niniboy's reply to Nonoy's 4/26/2008 accusations. It brings to light Nonoy's double talk, his obvious, poor schemes, and who has to gain in stalling the settlement. If Niniboy could only stand up and follow through on his talks, things may turn out differently.

Nonoy,
Who are the people calling you and telling you that I am selling the property of Mamang? Are they Auntie Sonia ?, Uncle Raul? , Auntie, Fely? , or even the relatives of Auntie Emma.? You never mentioned any names, so I cannot verify your charges. Again you speak in generalities.
And how can I sell the Sibuyan property of Mamang without the approval of all the heirs and siblings?
I have said all over again to all the Siblings that the Sibuyan property will not be sold but willl be converted into a Foundation of Mamang for the benefit of all.
What is you counter offer? Again you speak in generalities based on your self-proclaimed experience somewhere in the past. In fact you do not have a counter offer. You only said that a Foundation is a very expensive option, again without specifying why
So you have taken it upon yourself to file the reapplication in the Sibuyan property left by Mamang, assuming that it is not yet titled. Did you get permission from all the heirs and siblings for this ? Will you file it in your own name , then disclose in a back- to -back Trust Agreement, duly notarized , the nature of the application as originally Mamang's,and commit in writing to all the heirs siblings in the Trust Agreement that the applications is not for yours alone, but for the benefit of all heirs and siblings in equal shares, and that a proper Regina M. Gamboa Foundation, Inc. will be formed for the benefit of all? You are silent on this
Do not insist on verbal instructions , if any, to you which are self-serving . Do not also insist on that being eldest in the siblings now with the death of Ateng (how I miss Ateng), you can make decisions for everybody without telling the heirs and siblings before hand and asking for their permission
On the Mitsubishi car, which is now owned by all the Siblings, tell us in this email who is using it and who is driving it? We have the right to know, and you should, without being told, make an accounting of what is happening on property we now own as siblings now own. What is wrong if I call Jun to inquire?
Remember that time when you told me that the car will be parked in Sta. Ana after Lily returns for the States, for every sibling to use the car ? My question then to you was who will be using it when all our siblings are abroad? Your angry reply was : "Why, do you want to park the car in Antipolo?" You did not answer the question squarely .
The Sta Ana property, the car, the Sibuyan property, the shares of Papang in FEU and FERN are properties of the heirs and siblings. They have the right to have access to those without asking permission from you.
Didn't I tell you several times that Dodoy wanted the estate settlement done quickly, so that he can get his share in the sale of the Sta. Ana property and the car,and the FEU stocks , so he can use the money to buy property here in Antipolo or a condo.
You are pointing to dead people, including Uncle Nonoy, in accusing me of wrongdoing,. That is hear say and easy to do.
Papang and I had very warm relationship. I am very surprised when you told everybody that there is rift between between us . My gifts to Papang of Salonpas was because he used to use that in the Philippines when he was here, and siblings who know should remember. I have been also sending Kaminomoko. By the way, I didn't receive back the gifts I sent Papang.
Papang has a letter to me, which I sent all the siblings copies of. That you speak for his feelings for me as opposed to your vebal statement that he didn't like me.
You also made mention of my suggestion to Noel of reconcillation. Yes, I love my brother Noel, as I love my siblings. I invited him to come to Manila and promised to visit him in New York. What is wrong with that?
My decision to go to Sibuyan was made ahead of yours --- and that is on the record. Nobody can tell me not to go because I co-own that Sibuyan property.
I have been reporting to all the siblings and heirs consistently and I will continue to do so. My language has been professional and straigthforward.
On the other hand, your email even said that my last visit to Sibuyan was during the weddng of my daughter, Celia . That is foul and false language, to say the least. And for your information, and for every else's, my last visit to Sibuyan was with Mary, Rhea, and Edna, after long after the wedding of Celia.
Nonoy, please use civil language. I hope the mention of my daughter Celia will be the last .
Niniboy
