1. The only property he ever had was this small lot he inherited from his parents. Now that he is 91, he sold his 400 sqm lot in Cavite City for nine million net. His four children wanted an equal share of the cash proceeds, P9,000,000 divided by 5 = P1,800,000 each. He was willing to give them one-third because he needed more money for his frequent hospitalization and medical care. P3,000,000 divided by 4 = P750,000 but they found the amount too small, so his children sued him.
2. Ferdi punched his elder brother on the face and pushed him, causing his Kuya Tony to fall, breaking his leg and shoulder. Ang pinagsimulan, isang maliit na lote 480 sqm valued at P12,000,000. I met with Tony today who is flying to Manila next week to attend the court hearings. He couldn’t go back to work here in the US because of his injuries. He is suing his younger brother for physical assault and to make him pay for damages.
3. His two daughters sued their mother over their inheritance. They believed they didn’t get a fair share.
The total market value of all the properties acquired by the grandparents and parents were over one billion pesos. The two daughters were only allotted less than half of that. Their mother mother wanted to keep the rest for herself in preparation for her twilight years. Pang gastos.
This is not an unusual story. Madalas yan nangyayari, away sa properties, malaki man o maliit.
I hope people will be content with whatever they will inherit. Malaki man, maliit, marami, o konti. At least kahit papaano, meron.
