why you have a lot of question… sana kung ginusto mong pumunta dito sana di ka nag kakaganyan, do u think is that easy to take care another responsibility? did your mom mention anything her responsibility?(like all the bills) my dad or your uncle was so “upset” just to think how he can handle those responsibility, na dapat your the one who obbligate…dont you know na high school lang ang natapos nila my dad(he’s having hard time to speak & understand english) my dad was to old to be a legal guardian of your mom, but who’s gona be the one? di ba dapat IKAW… U should thankful to my dad to take all the responsibilities. dont worry di namin papabayaan ang mommy mo, even u guys thinking how bad we are(all your mom siblings), she was still a respectful auntie & sister in our family.

You seem to be admitting a lot in this email. You admit that your Papa Manding is the court-appointed guardian of my mother. You are stating that your Papa Manding is responsible for my mother’s wellbeing as an “alleged incapacitated person” (AIP). You are also aware of your father’s role as a legal guardian. But why are you speaking in behalf of your father now? Why is your Papa Manding upset in handling this responsibility?

More questions:
Did your Papa Manding initiate the guardianship petition?
Why is your Papa Manding so concern with my mother’s bills?
Is your Papa Manding the guardian of my mother’s money too?

You also seem to be admitting that your father is incompetent in his role as a legal guardian. If you know that your Papa Manding is old and lacking patience and skill as a legal guardian, then your father is not competent in his role.

By the way, are you now suggesting the appointment of a professional guardian over your unskilled father? If you are aware that your Papa Manding lacks guardianship training, then your father is putting my mother’s life at risk.

And why are you insisting that I should thank your father for his ineptness?

My thoughts (more questions):
Why was Uncle Manding given the role as my mother’s guardian?
Is Uncle Manding’s appointment only temporary? Or, is he an emergency guardian only?
Is Uncle Manding qualified to become a guardian of an “alleged incapacitated person” (AIP)?
Is Uncle Manding’s appointment as guardian appropriate for the interests or needs of my mother?
Is Uncle Manding serving my mother’s best interest?
Will my mother before her AIP status choose Uncle Manding to act as her legal guardian?

Note: My cousin Eric informed me through Facebook messaging that photos of my Mom Glory, who is an “alleged incapacitated person” (AIP), were posted on his Facebook account.

At last, you responded to my persistence so you uploaded 4 latest pictures of my Mom on a wheelchair in your FB account. Naintindihan nyo sana na dahil sa court copy na ipinadala dito sa amin na pinirmahan ng witness na si Carlene Klein at ang nakalagay doon “deceased” na si Mom kaya naconfuse kami. False statement yun! Dapat yun kasuhan ng perjury (lying under oath) kaya ko pinilit na humingi na proof sa inyo!

Were those 4 photos of my Mom taken inside the nursing home? My Mom looks sad and upset. Is she willing to stay there?

My Observations:
Four photos seem taken inside the nursing home.
Photo 1 shows Mom Glory on a wheelchair
Photo 2 shows Mom Glory on a wheelchair and Aunt Dely is sitting on a bed beside her
Photo 3 shows Mom Glory on a wheelchair and seems to be looking at the floor
Photo 4 shows Mom Glory on a wheelchair and seems to be reaching her foot

My cousin Eric is the son of my Mom Glory’s legal guardian, Uncle Armando (aka Manding). I guess Manding authorized Eric to post photos of my mother in his Facebook account. The four photos were posted by my cousin to prove to me that my mother is alive.

Eric’s act in posting the photos is giving me the impression that it is meant to correct the error of the “court papers” that was signed by Carlene Klein last August 27, 2009 (declaring that my mother is “deceased”). Manding and Eric should know that Carlene Klein made a false statement under oath. Manding and Eric should also know that those “court papers” traumatized me, my sister, and our families here in the Philippines. Manding and Eric should have done something to fight that lie!

Attorney J. W. Rehmke already admitted that there was an error in those “court papers”. I guess Manding knows the purpose of that error (in fact, a false statement). Was that false statement intentional?

Uncle Armando (aka Manding) should have known the interest of my Mom Glory before she became an “alleged incapacitated person” (AIP)! Uncle Armando should have protected us, the children of his ward!

Morton McGoldrick, P.S.
P.O. Box 1533
820 “A” Street, Suite #600
Tacoma, WA. 98402

Please allow me to communicate my dilemma concerning my mother, Gloria Liwanag, a resident of Federal Way, who I thought was only incapacitated (in a coma) since August 8, 2009, but after receiving “legal documents” from Morton McGoldrick firm last September 14, 2009 my hope collapsed and I was confused. I just found out from that “legal copy” that my mother was already “deceased” since August 27, 2009. The copy that I received was signed by a person acting as a witness. Her name is Carlene Klein. She was also responsible for depositing the mail from USA last August 27, 2009.

Ma’am, I don’t know if the documents that I received were genuine because I’m not familiar with guardianship papers being released by Washington Court. If there was a court hearing at that time, how could I and my sister participate in it since I’m here in the Philippines? My mother’s siblings in Federal Way did not even provide complete information about my Mom’s condition and that there was already a court hearing so I’m very upset. Did you personally handle my mother’s guardianship case? When did the guardian acquire legal documents to act on behalf of my mother as an incapacitated person? Why was I and my sister not included in signing those guardianship documents?

Will you help me understand my mother’s case?

Sincerely,
Tim Liwanag

My thoughts (more questions)

Attorney Jonete W. Rehmke replied to my email last Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 9:05 AM. She stated that my mother is not dead. She confirmed to me that my mother is residing in a facility paid by the State of Washington. She also named the court-appointed guardians of my mother and that they were appointed last September 15, 2009.

My observations about Atty. Rehmke’s email:

  • Rehmke sent the same email to “Carlene L. Klein”, a witness who signed the legal papers that my mother was deceased.
  • Rehmke believes that I received all the paperwork that was sent to my address. (How many papers were sent?)
  • Rehmke admitted that there was an error in those legal papers. (How many errors were made? Are they supposed to legally correct it?)
  • Rehmke accused me that I did not respond to all the guardianship paperwork and the emails. (What was the legal paper that I must receive and sign? How many papers must I receive and sign? How many emails did she send?)
  • Rehmke admitted that I don’t have to agree to the guardianship but the guardianship will still be put into place. (Is this legal in a US court? How would I know? I’m a Filipino residing in the Philippines, thus I’m not qualified!)
  • Rehmke was supposed to advise me to file a complaint to every legal department in the United States if I wanted to challenge their action. (How can I make a legal complaint in a US court? How would I know? I’m a Filipino residing in the Philippines!)
  • Rehmke stated that I know everything that is happening to my mother. She also mentioned that I called the FBI concerning my mother. (Am I all-knowing? Why should I call the FBI?)
  • Rehmke knows the medical condition of my mother. (Where are the medical records of my mother? Why didn’t the guardians provide me my mother’s medical records? What are the medications being administered to my mother?)

Dear fellow Christians and Filipinos
residing in the United States:
I was made to believe that my mother is dead!
My mother is still alive!

Edwin ________,

Hi cousin, it’s good that you have a Facebook account and I can see that you are already there in Washington. I emailed your Papa Manding some questions about my mother. Your father is my mother’s legal guardian (right?), but He did not give a direct answer to my inquiry. Now I want to ask you also: Have you seen my mother? Where is my mother now?

When did your Papa & Aunt Dely move my mother to a nursing home?
What’s the name and contact number of the nursing home?
Does she have a regular doctor there? What’s the name of my Mom’s doctor? What are my mother’s medications?

Can you honestly answer my questions?

Tim

Please kindly post a recent picture of you, your parents, and Aunt Dely together with my Mom here in Facebook.

Yes, nakita ko na mom mo. She’s doing better &better everyday… pero mas maganda sana kung nandito ka to taking care of your mom… about picture, till u go visit her again. thats all i know for now.

My thoughts (more questions):
My cousin has already seen my mother. Where?
Does my cousin know that his Papa Manding is my Mom’s legal guardian?
My cousin wished for me to personally take care of my mother. How?
(Remember, I was made to believe that my mother was deceased!

To my Uncles and Aunts, my mother’s siblings:

Why did you, as my mother’s siblings, made a petition to a Washington court to appoint a legal guardian for my mother?

When did you acquire the guardian legal documents to act on behalf of my mother as an incapacitated person?

Why did your lawyer exclude me and my sister from signing the guardian legal documents?

Where is my mother? Where did you place her belongings?

When was the release of my mother from the hospital? When did you move my mother to a nursing home?

Tim

An Uncle’s reply via text message (still using my mother’s cellphone#) – sent to my wife’s cellphone#:

My thoughts (more questions):

Why did Uncle reply via my mother’s cellular # instead of his own email (armand_becca@hotmail.com)?
(They said that Mom’s number was already unavailable because no one is going to pay for it.)
Why did their lawyer exclude me and my sister from signing the guardian legal documents?
Why didn’t the guardians provide me my mother’s medical records?
What are the medications being administered to my mother?
