Over a dead body

We’ve heard and read many stories about siblings or families fighting over money. Inheritance, division of properties. Some quarrel too for lack of money.

There are those who fight over a dead body.

She’s 65, husband is 3 years younger.
Her husband died, he has another family pala, ayun, agawan sila sa bangkay.

Maybe the cadaver represents something, pride? Siya yung legal wife, so dapat sya ang magpa libing? Sya ang kulasisi, dapat sya ang magpapaburol? May anak sila, sya ang present love, so dapat sya ang haharap sa mga bisita?

Wife asked our common lawyer for advise. Dapat ako na lang tinanong nya.
Libre advise pa, no acceptance fee, no revolving fund.

I think they can all do what they want. Yung wife #1, eh di iburol nya, iyakan nya, ilibing, magpa syam sya. Pagkatapos eh di hukayin ni wife #2, iburol uli nya, iyakan, ilibing, magpadasal din sya.
Tapos yung wife #3 eh di ipahukay uli yung bangkay, iburol na naman, ilibing uli, tapos di ipagpadasal nya. Pero after that, hukayin uli at ibalik dun sa legal wife.

But that’s too tedious. Paulit-ulit. Baka malansag na yung mga buto nung patay at magastos sa embalsamo. Baka magalit na yun at magmulto. “Ano ba, let me rest in peace!”

Pag-isahin na lang. They have to be in peaceful harmony. Sharing. During the wake, yung wife #1 tiga serve ng pineapple juice. Yung kulasisi tiga hawak ng tray ng chicken pie, yung bagong kulasisi, dun na lang sya sa pantry, tiga refill ng tray at tagahugas ng mga baso.

Better still, if your husband died and you discovered meron pa lang syang mga alagang inahin, ibigay mo na lang sa kanila yung bangkay, libre gastos pa.

Pero kunan mo muna sya ng pictures pang facebook announcement.
