That Atty. Beth Dela Rosa is the counsel who conducted and
supervised my examination as a witness at her office at Kalawag I,
Isulan, Sultan Kudarat Philippines;
Q1: Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?
A1: Yes Ma’am.
Q2: Please state your name and other personal circumstances for
the record.
A2: I am Jeriza Dela Cruz-Gabiosa, 41 years of age, married and
resides in Tacloban City. I am the sister of Raymund Dela Cruz.
I and my 3 sisters entrusted the 80,000sq meters of the
property left by our deceased parents which is situated at
Barangay Kalawag 1, Isulan, Sultan Kudarat.
Q3: Do you have any idea of the property left by your deceased
parents?
A3: Yes, ma’am, I have an idea. In fact, when I was a child our
parents show to us the original certificate of title of the said property.
Our family home is also situated on the said property where I had
experience many memorable childhood memories together with my
parents and siblings. Every summer, I am helping my parents in
planting trees and root crops. I am also helping them sell some of
the root crops every Saturday and Sunday.
Q4: Why did you entrust your deceased parents’ property to your
eldest brother, Raymond?
A4: I entrusted our deceased parents’ property to my eldest brother
because he is the only one among our siblings who has no
permanent job. I gave him the favor to take charge in
managing the said property so that he can have a source of
livelihood to feed his wife and his 6 minor children.
Q5: Do you have any idea that Raymond sell the property of your
deceased parents?
A5:No ma’am, I have no idea at all. I have no constant
communication with my eldest brother. Every time I call him,
he said he was always busy working in the farm. He did not
made mention about the selling of the said property. I am
confident that he will not sell the said property because I
trusted him being my brother. Further, I and all of my three
sisters had no intention to donate nor waive our claim as
successor co-owners of the property in favor of my eldest
brother but simply to manage the said property to earn his
keeps for his family.
