Hi Atty,
Hingi sana ako ng advice. my mother is charged for estafa and bp22. Humiram sya ng 30k from the complainant pero hindi nya nabayaran. So ang ginawa ng complainant, pinahiram sya ng jewelries para ibenta and yung kikitain yung ang ipangbabayad nya sa 30k. However, naisanla and na remata yung jewelries. My mother issued three blank checks to the complainant before, and apparently, sinulatan ng complainant ng amount with a total of 350k for the 3 checks. Natapos na ang hearing and nagkaroon ng settlement but my mother wasnt able to pay kasi wala naman syang work and means to pay. So nagkaroon ng warrant from MTC and she was detained at Pasig headquarters. Nakapag bail po kami amounting 36k.
After the bail, we talked with the complainant how we can settle and we agreed to pay 50k and hulugan yung remaining. We already paid 50k.
Now the complainant wants another 100k cash which we cant provisw anymore.
We already received a subpoena for next month and natatakot ang mother ko na baka makulong sya. My questions are:
1. What will happen in the hearing?
2. Will my mother be jailed because she has no means to pay the debt?
Thank you
