Songcuya Sues Charity Who Cared For Dying Man

So, let us summarize:

(1) Thomas Hunt was an American lying alone in a hospital in Cagayan De Oro, Philippines... penniless and dying.

(2) The Expatriates' Ladies Charity found out about this poor man, and first started a blood drive for him, and then started collecting money to pay for his medications because Thomas Hunt could not afford them himself and nobody else would pay for them. This charity struggled for weeks to raise money to medicate and hospitalize this man, to contact any American governmental agency that could help, and to save his life.

(3) Thomas Hunt unfortunately, eventually, inevitably died.

(4) Grace L. Songcuya (aunt of the adultrous wife of the dying Thomas Hunt) decided to sue the Expatriates' Ladies Charity saying that the group raised money for Thomas Hunt and then kept it all for themselves. Does anybody want to guess where Ms. Songcuya thinks this "withheld" money should go?

That's it: This relative of the unfaithful wife of a dying man, part of a family who did nearly nothing to help the dying man, sues the charity that raised money and tried their best to save the dying man.

Now, I'll say for one of course that we expatriates are rightfully angry: These are our wives who this woman is suing; these are the ladies who spent weeks trying to save this man's life; these are the people who were at his side as he slowly slipped away... while Grace Songcuya and her family stood by and watched.

We expatriates are angry... but Grace Songcuya is from The Philippines. If anyone should be truly disgusted, it should be the Filipinos who are reading this article about this woman. It should be the Filipinos who are writing letters to the newspapers and local news stations about this woman. It should be the Filipinos who are rushing to this charity's defense against this woman.

UPDATE 2:

According to this post at the Yahoo CDO Expatriates' Group (some information I thought might be kept under wraps, and thus I did not post until now) was made publicly available today: The information is that those people Ms. Songcuya is suing are aware of her prior record of official misconduct and abuse of position, and the fact that they are also aware that it is a further and renewed abuse of her position as a court clerk to summon a member of the expatriates community in to make a legal statement on Tuesday afternoon. It's not part of the coverage here, but has been covered on the Yahoo CDO Expatriates Group (1 and 2)
