I started an FB Fundraiser to recover our inheritance in the Philippines. I needed help for my relatives out there because we were victims of land grabbing and we need funds to recover our inheritance. But then, I was thinking, what will people get from it? What can I give them? But let me start from the beginning.
My brother passed away last March 2020 just before the quarantine. I was not able to go to the Philippines due to the pandemic. Yet paperwork and estate deadlines are still ongoing. I have to do stuff through representatives. I had to deal with banks and government agencies. Every week, I had to figure out how to do stuff in the Philippines. It's like having a second job. There should be some purpose to this.
Then I thought, maybe there are other people like me who are trying to figure out how to do stuff in the Philippines while they are abroad. And if there are, maybe, I should document anything that I learn while dealing with Philippine paperwork from afar. So Pilipinas Information Exchange was born together with an FB Community Page. So this is my offer to those who are stuck abroad like me but need to do stuff in the Philippines.
