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.
