Open Letter: Estate Settlement.

Niniboy, in an email to Nonoy, you wrote:

"Keep Noel out of this. I am not reporting to him, but to everybody, including you in your email address. As sibling, Noel is asking questions and everybody else has the right to know what is happening; and I have to answer questions asked. It's unfortunate that your email sounds the say it does.”

So, what haapened? What happened to this "right to know" you write about? What happened to my right to know about Mamang's personal possessions, the contents of the house in Sta Ana and its rental income? These things are part of the estate and I have the right to know about them!

Then, on another email, you wrote:

“Noel, traidor pala ito si Jun Mayor. I thought he was a decent man. I even thought for a while of hiring him as our family driver after Mamang died. Baka din pakawala siya or he is commodity whose loyalty is to the highest bidder. They are reportedly together in Sibuyan now, or are on the way there.”

By blatantly ignoring my questions about the estate, your statements about Jun Mayor applies to you as well. You find favor and profit in this "tayo-tayo lang" scheme and you sold me out. Do you or anyone in your family, directly or indirectly, profit from your influence and handling of the estate settlement? Have you or anyone in your family been promised certain favors, like free schooling for your apo, for example? Anyone who has any sense of right and wrong can see that you betrayed me, your own brother. It becomes evident that you will betray anyone for profit. You are a traitor. There are more of your emails calling for transparency and fair play. I will be glad to share them with anyone who would care to know more about your empty words. Liwayway, Dodoy and Domingo dela Fuente: What are your objections to a verifiable inventory of the house in Sta Ana and of Mamang's personal possessions? Those of you who object must have reasons. What are they? O baka naman si Nonoy lang ang ayaw? Funny things must have been happening in Sta Ana. I had sensed as much during my brief visit there. Heard stories about stolen appliances. Nonoy, you are getting that rent from Mamang's house in Sta Ana, ano? Even if that is your only livelihood. Even if part of it is used for maintainance of the house, it is wrong. Being the oldest living sibling does not give you special rights or license to do whatever you like. We have the right to know. If anything, people expect you to lead this settlement selflessly to everyones benefit. Instead you promote divisiveness and create schemes to gain control over everything for yourself. What I know is that all estate assets, no matter the size or value, belongs to all heirs. Using them without the knowledge and/or consent of all heirs is simply wrong.

Liwayway(Lily Gamboa O'Boyle), why don't you speak out? Stop using Dodoy as your sound system. This O'boyle money has made you think you're some kind of queen. To me and some others, you are just being a silly girl who wants to be something you are not. One day that bubble you live in will burst and you will pay for the consequences of your own self-importance. To those who have a stake in Tia-Elan. Know that Nonoy had expressed interest in selling the pebbles of the beach. "Isang bardge lang daw ang pag-hakut niyan." He knows that he does not have any legal claim there, but my understanding is that he had evicted Mamang's loyal tenants and replaced them with his right hand man - the one whom Niniboy calls a traitor. Who knows what he is up to now. So, heads up people. It becomes clear that some heirs are trying to cheat me of my entitlement in this estate. I will not allow that to happen. My position in the estate settlement is unchanged. Go ahead and file a petition in court. Liwayway, put your “tayo-tayo lang” system to work. Buy a judge or something. Let's see, if that works better than simple honestly and coming clean in this settlement.

Niniboy,

Don't be so technical, whether it was Luvy or you yourself who made the call does not matter. You were behind it and you know exactly what I am talking about. You betrayed me and that is a a fact.

I am not self righteous nor perfect, but I know when I am right. I know when someone is betraying me and have the right to be bitter. I am not ordering you around. The reality of the matter is that you wanted to be some kind of a hero. You wanted to be a go to guy, but when things get heated you wimp out. We had an estate lawyer to do what he was getting paid for, you did not have to do anything. You are not an estate nor an agrarian lawyer, remember? But Gusto mong magpa bida.

Regarding that GSIS issue, it was Mamang who brought it up to me. She said "ano ba itong ginahambay ni Nonoy tungkol sa pension ni Papang nindo?" I suggested that she had someone look into it. Also, someonein Loubet told me that someone in the PI told her about a certain check that you had that did not belong to you. This is hearsay, indeed, but why be in that situation?

I am not badmouthing you from behind the computer. I am only telling you the truth! Is it not true that you are not being impartial in this estate settlement? What is your objection to the inventories that I am asking for?

You know that everything I said in my email below is true! Isn't it true that virtually all your emails to me are your complaints about your "poor and pathetic" situation? Isn't it true that you wrote those emails about my right to know? Isn't it true that your description of Jun Mayor befits what you are now doing to me in this settlement?

What more proofs are your asking for? Your own words are proofs of your treachery. You are a traitor

Noel,

You are mistaken Noel.

I did not call Gozette. It was Luvy who did without my instructions. It was a wrong decision.

Be sparing in your harsh words. You are so full of anger and bitterness. I will not use the same language as you do.

Your mind is closed to everything but your own sense perceived righteousness.. You are not a perfect person yourself.You are there in the States, do not know the situation here, and you order things to be done here, and expect people to obey at your orders. If you are yourself of strong character, why don't come here instead of badmouthing people from behind your computer?

You and Nonoy are the same . You are accusing me of wrongdoings without proof and on the words people who are dead now . Why did you and Nonoy not raise this matter when Papang and Mamang were still alive?

Please respect my privacy.

Niniboy

Niniboy,

When you had your wife, Luvy, call here last November it just proved what a wimp you are. Tinawagan mo pa ang asawa ko sa opisina niya. Gusto mo pang idamay sa kasakiman mo. Then when you used the words, "we have to be together on this" I knew that you are indeed a traitor since I had heard those words from Nonoy before.

And do not delude yourself by saying that you were trying to reach me as a brother. You were going to sell your agenda. You were trying to reach me for profit! I hung up on you after saying bye because I knew that you were going to make up stories again. You said, "Refresh my memory," you must be crazy. Why don't you review your emails to refresh your memory yourself. Better yet, have your head examined.

Bistado ko na yang on-again off-again depression of yours. Sino naman kaya ang binubulabog sa mga imaginary sakit mo ngayon? Puro ka paawa, at pagkatapos mong gamitin ang tao e saksakin mo sa likod.

Niniboy, there is something fundamentally wrong with your sense of values. Nagmumukha kang pera. Even if you yourself did not steal anything from Sta Ana, knowing that someone did and doing nothing about it makes you just as guilty. It comes around that you, as Nonoy had alledged, may have been getting Papang's GSIS pension, until your were discovered. Even Mamang had mentioned this to me at one time. Anyone who learns about what you have done will only have one conclusion.


The unresolved estate settlement will serve as a testament and reminder of your treachery and greed.

N.

Noel,

I tried to reach out to you before as a brother and you closed the communications between us when you banged the telephone on me when I called you in New York last November.

I do not have access to Sta Ana to know about Mamang's possessions and contents of Sta Ana. I do not manage the affairs of Sta. Ana.

I did not profit from the estate matter and did not take anything from Sta. Ana.

Dear Noel.

Noel, you, and all the heirs, have the right to ask a detailed accounting what are the properties Papang and Mamang left behind, as I mentioned those properties in my previous email.

This includes Mamang's bank accounts, as well.

If you intend to do this, I suggest that you do it in a reply email to the email I sent to you and Dodoy (in draft form but sent anyway) that contained information on the process of estate settlement and partition, the four categories of properties left by Mamang and Papang. Provide your email to all the heirs for their information and for transparency. I will reply as both lawyer and heir to advise in detail all the heirs of their rights and of the process and documentation required for the settlement of the estates of Mamang and Papang , and the transfer of those properties to the heirs, equally..

All the properties mentioned above are, by operation of law, now the common properties of all the heirs to the extent of !/6 of the entire properties. I told this to Nonoy and Lily during our Feb 7 meeting , and I will repeat this, as necessary.

Because you and Dodoy are not here, you may have to execute documents related to the extra judicial settlement ( and partition later) which will be prepared by the lawyer. I will review those documents first , accept, amend or reject them.

The lawyer has not reverted to me since the last time I sent him an email with instructions, including the question of how much will he charge. I provided all the heirs with copies of that email, and I will continue to do so for transparency and for the information of the heirs who are not in the Philippines. It is also good idea to put everything in writing. He is probably busy. But I will raise this matter when I will meet with Nonoy and Lily tomorrow here at home during my belated birthday party.

The general guiding principle I told the lawyer in that email, and which is required by law, is equality of the heirs in the inheritance.

My health is fine, Noel. I am a little overweight though (83 kilos, whereas I should only weight 76). I have a few aches and pains in my joints. My blood pressure and cholesterol levels are normal. I exercise in a gym.

Your brother,
Niniboy

Hi Niniboy,

I am not suggesting any confrontation. The tone of my email to Nonoy was strong because he was trying to be cute.

Unless there are extenuating circumstances, I will ask the question about the account(s). Besides, it will have to be explained anyway. All stakeholders may want to know if bank accounts exist, what was done and how it was used. For instance, I wouldn't have known about it if I didn't ask you.

Let me know what you think.

I hope you are well.

Noel

Dear Noel,

I would rather leave things as they are for now. But I agree with you in many respects. Our difference is that I do not see how I can change things as they are now by frontal confrontation with them. I feel things will only worsen and that they will side with each other even more in a frontal confrontation. If you were only here, then things will be different.

Regarding the bank account of Mamang. All expenses for her hospitalization, wake and funeral were taken from those bank accounts. Nonoy prepared a preliminary accounting.

I do not believe there will be much money left in those bank accounts after everything has been paid for. Even assuming there will be some left, and they will not be accounted for properly, then I leave it to the conscience of people concerned.

There will also be expenses for the settlement of the estates of Papang and Mamang --- taxes, penalties, if any, transfers of titles and registrations, lawyer's fees. I will raise the question of how much money was spent from the bank accounts left by Mamang at that proper time and ask that the payments for the settlement of the estates should come from the bank accounts of Mamang.

The lawyer recommended by Nonoy has not reverted to me after that email I sent to him , which email I also provided by cc to all of the heirs. I already told Lily and Nonoy so by email . I will raise this matter at our next meeting here at home on the 17th.

Inspite of the slurs on me , I am trying to keep a steady keel.

Dear NIniboy,

I'm glad of this letter. I thought you would not sound off, even though it is just to me, in private. Nonoy has a bad mouth, and Lily defending him is a little ironical since Nonoy has been saying awful things about her too. Hehehe, one of these days she will find out and that would indeed be a laugh. Of course, he changed his tune when Lily married into money.

I can send an email addressed to all asking about Mamangs bank accounts. Since you are the lawyer I will address you in the opening. How's that? Let me know.

Niniboy, I don't know how closely you can monitor what Nonoy is doing, specially with Mamangs accounts. I don't know if she had money to speak of, but whatever there is should be accounted for (even if someone is drawing from it for their own benefit, so long as we know)

So, that inheritance lawyer is Nonoy's recommendation. Make sure he is above board.

Niniboy, it would really be nice if we can put closure to all the bad things that Nonoy has created. Unfortunately, he is not going to admit to it, even if it stares him in the face for the rest of his life. He is just a scheming lousy brother.

Putting Nonoy's bullshit behind you is a good idea. Just hope it does not happen again.

Regards,
Noel

Dear Noel,

I know how you feel, Noel. I feel the same as you do in some ways.I also have the same thinking of other people as you do. And you know and heard of so many malicious things said about me -- and perhaps my family -- behind my back, by those people. I was hurt by all of those talks specially because they are not true and that I cannot defend myself. My only consolation is that people do not believe them and their lies --- and the sick people who have habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs are in fact pointing the accusing finger at themselves. Relatives of ours who have heard of ill talk about me and my family from the same source have told me they do not believe those dirty talk.Some added those people are just envious of my success and that those people are by nature trying hard to look good at the expense of others. I would rather forget them, Noel. As I told all concerned by email: I did not steal anything from Mamang or Papang and anybody who says so should tell me in my face so I can defend myself from those lies. I would like to close this matter now.

Noel, I am sorry I cannot inquire from Dodoy and Marilou about the US Bank accounts of Mamang. I am satisfied with what I have heard about those accounts; also I do not want to alienate Dodoy from me.

You are more candid -- and perhaps rightly so -- than myself. You speak your mind withoug reservations.

My goal now is to have the sharing of our inheritance done fairly,equally and quickly. In short, we all get 1/6 of what Mamang and Papang left behind. That is why I told the lawyer recommended by Nonoy that I am providing copies by email all the heirs with communications between us.

Keep this email to yourself, Noel, I do not want anybody else to read it. That is the reason why I purposely sent this email as a separate one, rather than just simply doing so by pushing the REPLY botton in answer to your email.

On a personal note, I retired from PNOC in 2006 and I am beginning to feel some subtle aches and pains in my joints -- arthritis my doctor said. Luvy put up a school nearby after her own retirement , and I have a small and starting legal consultancy for oil and gas exploration companies. Eric is moving to New York in July to start his fellowship in oncology and hematogy. Call and see him sometime for some encouragements. He will be staying with Dodoy for a few days only, until he moves to his hospital dormitory or his own apartnment nearby.Leo is an accountant in Edmonton Canada. Celia's export handicraft production is doing well inspite the weak dollar

I am really looking forward to seeing you soon at your own time.

Take care.

Your brother,
Niniboy
