INHERITANCE - to get or not to get?

[mrs.jack sparrow]

fight for it. because u have the same right as your brothers do. pero kung talagang ikakasira ng ulo mo na to the point na magulo na ang life ng husband,kids mo, give up na din siguro. anyway, as i gather you're well-off naman..and iba din ang SUCCESS AND WEALTH na sariling sikap. self-made woman ka naman, it will last longer than mga kaperahan i bet..

[cassey05]

This is a very good plot for the next Mano po  - "The Inheritance " ,  or baka mas maganda " Hopia Lang Ang Para sa Iyo".

Seriously, I admire you sis aquacharly and I'll pray that in the end you still have one happy family .

let's submit sa star cinema kasi truelili naman ang kwento nito. 

[akthung]

oo nga....sige gawa na tayo ng script. lol

imho, yan ang textbook example ng Girl Power

[moonie]

Well done girl!  Your mom should be proud.  May nagmana ng tigas ng ulo niya. LOL.  Sakit nga sa ulo yung mga problema mo ngayon but consider it part and parcel of your inheritance narin.  Siyempre kahit mayaman, meron pa ring problema. 

Pero kung ano man ang sakit ng ulo mo ngayon, imagine na lang ang panghihinayang na mararamdaman mo when you realize later on na lahat na naipon ng parents mo nilustay na ng mga kapatid at nephews mo.  Dapat nagtayo nalang ng malaking family corporation ang dad mo to handle all his varied interests and businesses para at least maalagaan ang kayamanan ng pamilya even if your brothers are not business minded.

Never mind kung ayaw pa rin ng mom mo na masama kayo sa hatian.  Trust me, sa mga taong neutral at walang interes sa problema niyo sa mana, walang mag-iisip na greedy ka.  They will only see someone who is fighting for what is rightfully hers.  In the end, it is the law that will be followed.  I think what is important is that you find out the full measure of your parent's wealth--assets, liabilities--lahat.  Naiimagine ko rin iniisip ng mom mo paano itatago sa iyo at mga sisters mo mga pag-aari sa pangalan niya. 

The freezing of your mom's accounts may have been godsend also.  Para at least, mapreserve yung funds until the family has this mana thing sorted out.  O di ba? Now, she has to decide whether to sign the MOA recognizing your inheritance if she wants the bank account unfrozen.  Look at the bright side pala, even your sisters are speaking their minds na.  Kahit nagiging messengers lang sila, they've used the opportunity to air their thoughts. 

About the kabit thing, i think unahin niyo muna yan.  Wow naman, di na nga kayong mag-ina magkasundo pati pa siya nakisali sa problema.  Tama yang ginawa mo, discover all the properties ng kapatid o pamilya mo under their control; bawiin na lahat ng mababawi; take control of the businesses at iwanan lang sila ng equivalent sa parte nila as illegitimate children.  Personally, i think Kabit should get nothing kahit awa simply because manloloko siya.  At dalian niyo ha, baka ibenta na rin nila ulit yung nasa pangalan na nila.  If you're lucky, you might even find that the Kabit, inc. has been embezzling from your businesses in the provinces kaya pa-audit na rin the books.

Naku ha, pati pa pala kamag-anak ng kabit ng bro mo naging dependents narin ng family mo.  At eto, ikaw longganisa at prutas lang ang natatanggap once in a while.  At french fries!  (Bakit nga ba french fries?) 

You should tell your mom if she wants to be generous to non-family members, magtayo na lang siya ng foundation in your dad's name para may charity work siya.  HIndi lang siya magpopromote ng goodwill para sa pamilya at mga negosyo niyo, may advantages din yun tax wise.

Ipagdadasal ko na lang na your mom has a change of heart.  Hindi pa naman too late and stranger things have happened.

[Joycy]

AKo rin, inaabangan ko itong thread na to.

Aquacharly, im glad your hubby supports you in this "fight". Now that alam ko ng your hubby is behind you 100%, i can say na talaga na ipagpatuloy mo yan. Fight for what you believe in. In doing so, you are helping other family or women in the same situation.

Im praying for you. Good luck. Take a deep breath....

[silveronfire]

thank you for sharing this with us aquacharly... im sure all the females in your clan who are all gonna be watching this unfold are on your side (silently, maybe) because when you win this battle, it's gonna be kind of the same pattern for them as well,,, what's not to support di ba? even if in prayers lang they can help and support you, pwede na yun 

also, im happy to know that you shared this dilemma with hubby na and he is with you in this battle... i remember mentioning before that as long as kampi kayo ni hubby, you should be fine...

goodluck and ill be praying for you.

[kyuting13]

Nagback read talaga ako para ma-gets ko ang mga pangyayari

Sis aquacharly, if I were in your position I would do the same. I would fight for my right. Wala namang reason para magpaka-martyr ka, so why do it? Saka I feel hindi money ang issue for you, but more of the acknowledgement na anak ka rin ng mom mo, as well as your other sisters.

Na intindihan ko rin na yung kinukuha mo will eventually be for your mom as well. Kahit na may love-hate relationship kayo ngayon, in the end parang ikaw din ang magaalaga sa kanya.

My family has sort off a similar story. My grandfather is also chinese at ang lola ko hindi. They had 5 kids, 2nd ang daddy ko. Wala namang masyadong manang pinaghatiaan. Pero our family issue stems from favoritism as well.

For as long as I can remember, hindi paborito ang daddy ko or kami ng kapatid ko as apo. She helps my uncle sa business nya and in her house naman all the kids of my aunt stays with her. All those apos get financial support from her. Kami ng kapatid ko naalala lang ata nuon pag pasko kasi lahat ng magpipinsan may tig-500php hehe.

Sa 4 ko na pinsan ni sinupport nya, ngayon ko na lang nagets yung purpose nya. My aunt kasi is separated very early on in her marriage from her husband. Naiwan siya with 4 kids and no career. So ang lola ko ang nagsupport sa kanila. Ok ang naman sana yun, kaya lang when you are kids and dont see the greater picture of things, maiinis ka kapag harap-harapan pagmamalaki na si ganyan representative ng quiz bee, at si ganyan contestant na naman sa singing contest. Tapos ako ang tanging comment nya ay maganda lang legs (sus! sana naman konting talent na lang ang pansinin... pero totoo naman hahaha... so magpapabola na lang ako sa part na yun). Ayaw nya rin na nalalagpasan namin ng kapatid ko yung 4 na pinsan namin. Alam nyo yun, kailangan "mas" lagi sila. And even before, they discouraged my mom from sending us to exclusive schools kasi di naman daw namin afford.

To fast forwarded... nagsilakihan kami... and now, all those cousins are gone. I'm sure wala namang makakaalala sa kanila na padalhan ng pera si lola. Magisa na siya sa house ngayon. Now, kahit medyo may konting sama pa rin ng loob si daddy sa kanya. Si mommy ang talagang nageeffort na bisitahin every weekend si lola. My mom would say na she buys shoes for her and sasabihin na galing sa akin (which i dont think is a good idea haha). And in the end, our family who was only after her affection in the first place, kami din ang makakaalala sa kanya sa end.

So for your mom aquacharly, I feel you still have great love and concern for  her, kaya ka nagkaka-ganyan. I know that you feel in the end pag may sakit na ang mother mo, lahat ng brothers mo at wives nila na dependent sa kanya kakalimutan lang siya. And you the medusa that she thought you were, ikaw pala ang darna niya

I know the fight you are putting up is not really for you, kasi nga as they've said financially capable ka naman. I think its more of for your mom pa rin in the end

Hope all goes well for you eventually. And that one day, uupo kayo face to face ng mom mo and eat mcdo fries together with hapiness and peace in your hearts (or kahit longganisa, which ever you prefer  )

[akthung]

moonie +1!

[snowkittycat]

wow, now ko lang nakita tong thread na to! tawa ako ng tawa sa 'yo, aquacharly! kumakain pa naman ako ng eng bee tin hopia! lol

Since ako din ang Medusa ng pamilya, naiintindihan kita, alam ko ang feeling na hindi ka mapakali hangga't hindi fair and just ang lahat. Parang nasa sistema natin ang pakikipaglaban for our rights. It's just so hard to shrug off everything or to shake off that feeling di ba?
Kaya masasabi ko lang eh tuloy ang laban!

[aquacharly]

THANK YOU ALL for taking time to pray for us, to share parts of your life, and for the advice.

Ako, from the start, hindi pa rin nag-iba.
I want my legal share to establish a Kangkungan Fund ... just in case, bumagsak doon ang Mother ko (after her herederos separate her from her assets & kick her in the face); and "just in case" for any sister.  I pray, of course, no such great disasters come our way.   Puede na yung mahulog sa canal, pero hwag naman matapon sa kangkungan.  LOL

I was very much in demand after that last confrontation of some sisters with Mother Dearest.
Hindi lang pala bribery ang insult na tinapon sa face nila.

To quote:  Ako ___y.o.   nang magka 1st million, kayo nagka 1st million lang kayo nang .....    (Sabi ng sisters obviously hindi ako kasama sa insult na yon).

they took turns venting... kaya kahit na inabot na ako nang 430AM  at nayupi na left ear ko .. eh, sige... nakinig ako.

How can I explain this to you properly?
O sige, napapanood natin sa movies and all... pero pag Real Life na pala... ibang klase.
Feel na feel ko ang hurt nang sisters ko sa pag insult ng mother namin.
Feel ko din ang galit ko na ... ano ba kayo, we are adults and independent of her na... hindi nyo pa sinagot sagot nang mahusay.  Kasi I believe that kung andoon ako,  hindi yon nakagawa nang ganoong dialogue.

Tapos, eto ha... mabigat sa dibdib kasi... parang that last confrontation and what my Mother put on display eh... opened the floodgates of suppressed memories for each one of us daughters.  Grabe.   Flashback talaga.

I pray none of you go through this kind of an experience.   

God bless all.

[aquacharly]

Eh di kanya kanyang venting at kanya kanyang opened floodgates of forgotten or repressed memories.  Hay buhay.  Puede na tayo umabot from "Kalokers 1" to "Kalokers 15".     

Paano ba kaming pinalaki?

If my Mom put up such a Variety Show (kasi nga may iyak iyak in earnest, tapos may pa martyr:  kunin nyo lahat!  teka, wala namang usapang ganoon.  tapos, shift daw to:  As long as I am alive! I will do what I want!   atchaka:  sige, sige, sige,  ang kapal ng mukha nyo ha... sige bring it to court...  may instances na may matching croc tears pa nga daw.  Take note ha... she shifted from 1 drama to another every 15 minutes per Achi)

I asked:  ano nga ba tayong klaseng anak kaya may ganoon syang palabas na Variety Show?

At 1 time, noong sunod sunod ang problems ni Father and Mother sa kanilang mga sons at mga anak at mga wives or kabits nito, or pokpoks nito... eh como ako nga ang takbuhan basta problema....
nasabi ko na -- you have that kind of family kasi you raise children according to what is CONVENIENT for you...not what will address the child's potential.

So ganoon nga ang palaki sa amin.
Basta ma social life sila.  Ma golf at ma-kabit si Father. 
Basta pasado, okay na.
Walang premium to excel.
Iniiwan kami kay Yaya (who is the mayordoma now of our Mom), drivers at maids.
   
Wala naman tinuro mga parents namin sa aming mga daughters about Real Living and the Cruel World out there.
Actually, ang malaking suya ko sa neglect nila sa pagpapalaki sa amin eh kasi hindi ako naturuan ng: Sources & Uses of Power Over Men.    hehe

Actually,  linoko pa nga kami kasi parang
     na brainwash kami na ang destiny lang ng 1 daughter eh ang mag asawa...
     pero what neglect ha!    hindi naman kami tinuruan ng  H2 Management (husband & home);  hindi man lang kami pinasilip nang Sex 101 pati na rin Flirting 101 wala!   Kaya yang StripTease 101, yang Manipulation 101, yang Kupit 101 atchaka Cooking 101 and Tricks 101   -- hay naku, mga basics of marriage ... wala kaming training.

My salvation from utter kaboboh@n or naivete is my paternal lola.  Como siguro kamukha ko sya... pero I think it was more kasi na kita nya agad ako ang may horns sa mga apo nya ... we spent days together.

I would wake up, andoon na sya.
We roamed as in roamed... kaya siguro I am a very restless person (tapos itong si hubby ang dialogue:  Ano? Gusto mong pumunta sa Timbuktu?  Eh napanood na natin sa National Geographic, bakit pa tayo pupunta doon?!  Hay! ngek! ngek! ngek! grrrr)

Uuwi na lang ako, kung uwi pa ako... to sleep.
Kaya medyo naiba ako sa mga sisters ko.
Sabi nila ako yung original KIA (Know-It-All) kasi lahat pinapaki alaman ko, lahat ma commentaryo ako...  hmmph! 
Pero aminado ako kaya siguro very friendly ako at tsismosa kasi nga my 1st barkada was my Lola & Her Friends.   

Kaya siguro I will never be Darna, Lipad, Darna! sa mommy ko... Medusa nga ako, the Infiltrator, The Enemy Within, The Bad Influence.  hehe

Marami naman akong natutunan sa Lola ko ha.
Pag may lumigaw, kelangan marunong mag mahjong, or else ang ibig sabihin kay Lola hindi cultured daw.
LOL   Actually, which is true,  she said makikita mo ang tunay na ugali sa manner nang pagsugal.

Kasi nga naman pag bata ka pa .. hindi mo masisilip how a person handles his money ...(how a person manages his money daw talaga is a good gauge of the person's character) ... kasi mahirap namang bata bata ka pa eh labeled golddigger ka na eh curious ka lang naman sa character nya.   

Sabi din nang Lola ko....  instead of rich friends,  get friends na may ambisyon at masipag.  Ganoon din daw dapat ang hinahanap na husband or BF.

Pero wala din akong nasilip na Sex 101 kay Lola.  Pero in fairness ha!  naturuan ako nang Flirting 101 ni Lola.  LOL

[aquacharly]

Sorry ha, na OT last post ko.
Hindi ako nakapag focus sa update on the positioning of the sisters.

Ako kasi talagang Kangkungan Fund ang habol ko.
Sila kasi,  interesado sila sa pera (as some of you said:  well, nothing wrong with that)
Pero, iba iba sila ... may sige, saka na lang ako bigyan. Merong gusto ko 20% down tapos installment.. LOL

Meron din sisters na takot go against Mother; meron dyan nahihiya na we are causing her grief;  meron dyan na baka daw sa galit eh biglang magkasakit or madead-o si Mother.

But after na insulto sila ni Mother, at nakita nila how Mother reneged on points agreed upon previously....
at nalaman how the dead brother's kabit's family has taken over 1 house and bankrupted 1 business...
lahat ng sisters decedido na to ride the banca... to bring it to court...if need be..

So, hindi na ako nag-iisa kung kapalan ko man my face and decide, sige... let us go the whole hog.

It is humor really that is our the salvation of our Kalokres Family.   Eh di na Sleepless in Greenhills na nga ako sa ka listen to each sister venting. 
Inisip ko, naiba nga ako kasi well... they were so affected by the confrontation... siguro mas madami nga lang akong na experience  kasi may business kami ni hubby.   Or, talagang likas na makapal ang face ko.  LOL

Naka Mercedes or Pajero mga SILs namin ha, pati na ang Kabits.
These women had Rustan's charge accounts, had international and domestic credit cards charge to our parents,  travelled to Europe or the US with our parents every year... mga Jackie Onassis.
Lahat ng living expenses, charge to Mother.

Tapos, kami itong mga lumaki kay Yaya, hatid sundo ng drivers... mga tamad tumayo man lang to get their own glass of water to drink...
Ano kaya?  Na FedEx karma kami?  LOL!

Sige, matuto mag bus, mag jeep, mag LRT.
Sa dami naming sisters, ang wala lang naka experience kahit 1 eh ang sumakay dyan sa Pasig Ferry at PNR choochoo (tinatapunan daw ng poopoo ng taga Along the Riles?)

Si Sister X nga di ba nahulog sa bus, nawalan ng 1 shoe, nagasgas super bigtime ang legs .. (black daw panty nya noon.  LOL)

Ako, I wanted to attend a certain Finance Class in UP eh hindi ako marunong mag drive (este, konti drive okay, park knowhow zero talaga)  pa noon... nagpa instruct ako over the phone pano mag bus to get to UP (may bestfriend ako noon grad ng QC Phil Science), saan bababa at saan sasakay pabalik.  LOL

Kung hindi ba naman napaka t@anga .. isip ako ng isip pano ko paparahin itong bus na ito?  Ngek!  Hindi ko napansin agad yung mama katabi ko nakapatong na yung kamay nya sa hita ko!  Kalokers talaga ha... kasi pangit sya talaga... at mukhang madumi ang kamay.. sumigaw ako nang Rape! Rape! Rape!   LOL
Sabi ni Achi ang g@ga, pano ka ma rape you were just  behind the driver?  Anyway,  kandarapa bumaba yung mama. 
(Hindi pa kasi ako marunong talaga mag mura noon, otherwise mas okay kung nasabi ko SH1T, what the EFF??   etc etc etc...  hay buhay)

Nakababa naman ako kasi may kasabay akong pababa sa UP.
Tapos, naligaw ako pabalik.
Ka stoopz talaga. 
Basta,  bumagsak ako sa Quiapo, as in the church.
Eh sige nakikita ko sa tv, photos... pero hindi naman kasama ever sa mga field trips ang Quiapo church di ba... so lost in Manila ako. 

Eto pa, when it rains it pours. 
Eh umulan nang malakas that afternoon.
Pag baba ko sa bus sa Quiapo .. akala ko malulunod ako. Hindi naman ako pandak but the water reached my tuhod.. well almost! 
For the 1st time (naku dami kong 1st time that day!) -- for the 1st time, like a virgin, naka experience ako nang baha.   (o sige, ilang beses nga ako virgin that day.  hay buhay)
It took my husband 3 hours to reach me.

Tapos, kasi times were trying for me... atchaka gawain ko naman noon with my lola... punta ako ng Baclaran. 
Nakarating naman ako nang Baclaran pero bumagsak ako on my way back home sa ... . Munoz!  hahahaha.  It took hubby almost an hour to get me.
Ang inis pa ni hubby pag tinanong .. asan ka?  Sagot ko, kasi nga virgin eh...  ewan ko.

After that, kelangan na talaga matuto mag park.
I hardly drive these days, I have drivers. 
Tinigilan ko na pag drive when it became harder to find a parking slot than to drive.   
Actually, Achi said pinatigil na akong mag drive ni hubby when 1 early evening (really? did it happen? Achi nagsumbong kay hubby eh)  tinutukan  ko yung nang gigit git sa akin, pagkatapos kong habulin at ibalagbag ko my car doon sa island break.. yung pa left turn meron noon papuntang Green Meadows Ave. from Ortigas.  (Hoy, sabi sa akin ni Achi .. hindi mascara wand or hairbrush yung tinutok mo, sinungaling ka ba?  LOL -- selective amnesia lang, Achi!) 

Another sister naman.. naging expert at shuffling her credit cards... "kiting" baga. 

Tawanan kami kasi ngayon lang namin na cuento sa isa't isa mga kapalpakan namin. 

Meron dyan eh... she was in a jeep tapos kaway sya ng kaway sa SIL ko na naka Benz (bigay nang ni Mother)  at tanda pa nya naka Dior shades si SIL... hindi sya pinansin. 
Ngayon lang nya cuentos beyond her hubby, kasi for her that was a very humiliating rejection and insult.

Meron dyan para daw sya si Mother Lily in New York.  Pakakainin ang husband, pero sasabihin, tapos na ako kumain kanina pa pero hindi naman kumain ...  kasi araw araw daw ang kinakain nya to save, eh  eggs.   LOL

Talagang kasi wala kaming training, nasampal sampal kami ng Real Living.  As in ... budget? Ano yon?
Palengke?  Eh supermarket nga hindi ko pinupuntahan.  (Meron sister ang dialogue eh:  all I know is how to brew coffee.) 
Ah, may territoryo and there is life form pala  beyond where the boys are... meaning, beyond La Salle Taft and beyond Ateneo at Katipunan.  LOL.. 

Talagang our arsses sure got kicked around.

But we are all okay now.  Sariling sikap
Ako pinaka okay.      All by the grace of God.
(Thank you, God!)

And my mother wonders?!
She cannot?!  or refuses?!  to understand why we want our legal share of our father's estate??!!
 
Ano kaya isip nya?  Ang mga anak lang ng Diyos eh yang mga brothers, SILs, kabits, and even family of 1 kabit ...   

I do not wish upon them what we went through... ang 1 araw naka driver ka and all... tapos pinoproblema mo another day pano mo inform the bus driver:  Stop! este, para! pala  Or, ano kaya appropriate to wear to the palengke?  LOL   Dumb2

Mukhang masaya ang magiging cuentos sa banca.

God bless you all for your patience.
I hope you have been amused somewhat.

Thanks again.

[greyish]

hi sis...

hantayin naming lahat ang susunod na kabanata

this is more worth waiting kesa sa mga telenovela sa tv!

true to life ito!!!

god bless!

[moonie]

Naku bonding din yan among sisters no.  therapeutic din.  Kumusta na pala pinasasauli mong pera sa mistress ng brother mo? 

Sana matauhan na mommy mo.  She could do it the easy way or the hard way.  Really parang mga abogado lang talaga yayaman sa away pamilyang yan.

[aquacharly]

Binalik daw kasi si Yaya ang nag deposit.  Pero 2 checks daw.  Parang post-dated ang 1.  hehe

Nabanggit ko na ba na 1 brother joined our group?

I have talked to the lawyers, and we know what to do now.  I have set a comite de festejos for the sisters, and that 1 brother for Sunday night.

I said in the interim, isipin nyo what is your reason for joining my side of the fence.
I told hubby, what the heck ... it is not the money I am after.   I can just walk from it all.
BUT... hubby finished it for me....  if 1 of the sisters wants to go after he legal share, I gotta go get the banca kasi I started it all.

I said, o mag isip kayo before we meet on Sunday... rain or shine, bagyo or no bagyo...  late dinner, after everybody has time to go to the 7PM Mass...  pray for Divine Guidance... 

Kasi talaga, once we start and set things in motion, I am not gonna back off.  It is just part of my character -- when I initiate a campaign (or war) wala sa vocabulary ko ang surrender!  LOL

Hay buhay.

Para kaming mga pusa.  Waiting for something to fall, or waiting for a bomb to explode.   
Sabi ni Achi... Mom will wait us out, tomake the 1st move. She is banking that I am so busy with my life and lose patience and say:  what the heck, bahala kayo mag labolabo.

[mrs.jack sparrow]

sis hindi ko lang maintindihan why ur mom favor's your brothers' wives, but she doesnt seem to care about you, her daughters.. san galing yon?

ipaglaban nyo yan magsisisters.. lugi kayo. wag kayo papayag na malamangan ng hindi man lang kadugo ng sarili nyong magulang.

[moonie]

Yehey! marami na kayo.  Now, if you can start the ball rolling, the sooner your mom will realize you weren't making idle threats.  Fighter din ba mom mo?  Maybe she's just hardheaded but will do nothing until the inevitable happens.  Hindi niya ba inaway mistress ng dad mo?  She'll probably behave the same way with you and your siblings in this case especially since she was advised na rin by your uncle na tama yung pinaglalaban mo under the law.  When you settle this mana thing, maybe you should look into the management of your family's wealth.  Kumuha ka na kaya ng consultant para magkaroon ng financial planning para sa lahat sa inyo.  Maybe you don't have to worry pa na pupulutin sa kangkungan your mom or other relatives in the future.  It sounds like all your relatives are preoccupied on spending money and not on managing or investing their resources.
