Many changes occurred, many plans were not met, plenty of promises were not kept. Especially promises made when Tatay Ruby was still in palliative care at the Vancouver General Hospital and when Auntie Insurance was still in Canada making arrangements for her travel to the Philippines.
Again, it may be all be because of poverty, money and lack of integrity.
Auntie Insurance decided for Tatay Ruby's grown children who were present - Bodoy, who is 39, and High Finance Woman, who is 38. Auntie Insurance decided to file for SSS death claim, proceeds of which, according to her - should go straight to an ATM provided by SSS office that she will take with her back to Canada.
Alas, the filing did not go through due to insufficient requirements to do so.
Auntie Insurance lacked a few papers such as the affidavit of discrepancy of surname; date of birth; and a few others.
What was known :
*she filled out the form under date of marriage as September 4, 1997. But truth is it should be July 4, 1989. What gives?
*asked if the deceased has dependent children, she replied "None". But the truth is they have an adopted daughter. So does it mean the daughter is not legally adopted?
*she was hiding the details of Tatay Ruby's death certificate, funeral receipts in Vancouver and other papers. Quick eyes saw that Tatay Ruby's funeral director was First Memorial after all. It was 3 blocks away from their domicile indeed. Refer to this butterfly's previous post
Gone was Auntie Insurance's promise at Tatay Ruby's casket that she will leave the SSS claims to his children. Gone was her statement to High Finance Woman that the SSS burial benefit claim can be claimed by Personal Injury Solicitor if he wanted to. Gone was her statement that "she will not eat the SSS burial and death claim" when she received a threatening voicemail from Personal Injury Solicitor before.
When you consider what God has done for us, saving us from our sins, and that the scriptures say those who are saved are adopted by God, then it is clear that God treats the adopted children (and one would presume stepchildren if it were possible) the same as the natural son. If God treats us that way, then we ought to treat children who are not our birth-children the same as if they were.
And so the story shall continue...
