PRESS STATEMENT OF SENATOR M.A. MADRIGAL

In an order dated 2 July 2008, the Regional Trial Court of Makati City Branch 148 has resolved that the bulk of the estate of my late aunt- Dona Consuelo "Chito" Madrigal including those not stated in her purported will and whose value is over and above the amount of Twenty Six Million Pesos shall be distributed to all her legal heirs according to the rules on legal succession. The order also said that I am not precluded from further questioning the will for being a forgery.

This order is a vindication of Tita Chito's true intentions which I fought for in court. Pinapatunayan ng Order na ito na buhay ang hustisya sa pag-respeto sa tunay na kahilingan ni Tita Chito.

Since the court has now acknowledged not only my rights as a legal heir but also those of my other relatives, I intend to continue this fight for the benefit of those whom my Tita Chito truly loved - such as her Foundation.

Hindi po to tungkol sa akin. Ito ay tungkol sa isang krimen sa batas ng tao at ng Diyos na hindi ko palalampasin kahit sino man ang tamaan.

Ito ay tungkol sa isang pagtataksil at kasakiman. Marami sanang matutulungan ang Foundation na minahal ng aking Tita. Nguni't dahil sa pagtataksil na ito, ang ilang milyon na ating mga kababayan na dapat sana ay mabibigyan ng pagkain, pabahay at edukasyon ang nawalan na ng pag-asa.

Itutuloy ko ang laban upang ang tunay na kahilingan ng aking Tita para sa mahihirap ay matupad.
