dear sir,
gusto ko po snang i consult ung nangyari sa kin at ng pinsan ko. Last 2009 pinadalhan ko po ang pinsan ko ng 600k to pay for my property (w/c is near to foreclosure) unfortunately, nde nya po ito binayad so na foreclosed na po ng tuluyan. Wla po syang pinadala sa king khit ano na papers na nagsasabing na foreclosed na po ung property ko.Ang sbi nya po nung kinukuha ko na ung pera ko, nakasangla daw po ang passbook nya nde nya po raw ma withdraw ang pera ko. Dumaan po ang mga 6 months, pinilit po sya ng father ko na ilabas ang pera ko (nakapag labas po syang 215k). so me natitira pang 385K, July 2010, nag chat kami kc kinukuha ko na ung natitira, sbi nya ipapahiram nya raw para patubuan kc me nagsasangla raw po ng house and lot na me title, nsa kanya na raw, so out of trust sa kanya, kc po pinsan ko, umoo po ako pero sbi nya ibibigay nya raw po ang title ng property sa kin at ang kasulatan na pinautang nya, Umuwi po akong Aug.'10, hinihingi ko po ung title at ung mga documents na sinasabi nya na pina notarized nya, wla pa rin syang naipakita sa kin, lage nyang rason busy sya, etc. Eto na po, umabot na ng March 2011, ska pa lang nya naibalik ang 385k na natira sa pera ko sa kanya. Wlang title na ibinigay at wlang documents na naipakita. Nalaman ko po na ung sinabi nyang naisangla sa kanya, nde po pala nakabayad at nakuha ng pinsan ko ang house and lot na sinabi nyang un ang pinerenda. Ang tanong ko po ngayon, since na forfeit ang property ko, dahil sa kanya, dahil di nya ibinayad ang pinadala ko? ano pong case ang pede kong isampa laban sa kanya? plus, ung nag chat kami last time, ako pa ang ginawa nyang masama.. Me evidence po ako na pinadala ko sa kanya ang money thru remittances at ung chat namin na me dpat syang ibigay na documents sa kin. Meron din po akong copy ng chat namin na kung ano ano na ang pinag sasabi nyang masama against me. Please lang po, tulungan nyo po ako. Naghihirap ang kalooban ko dahil sa halos 1.5M na naibayad ko dun sa property ko na un, ng dahil sa knya nawala. I will appreciate your reply. god bless.

the facts of your case rendered an estafa case. you must remember, blood is thicker than water. If I may suggest, going through the legal process may burn bridges with your relativs. It would still be prudent if you can resolve your case amongst your cousin and other relative that can mediate between the two of you.

Defamation if he made defamatory statements that have humiliated you infront of other people or the public itself.

Filing estafa, you should ready documents to prove your case. Email threads are accepted as evidence under the electronic evidence law.

yes you can institute a estafa case on your cousin. you just need to prove that you were decieved and defrauded by your cousin. in connection with the duration of the case, it will all depend on the appreciation of the prosecutor whether or not he find a probable cause on your complaint and also it will depend on the evidence that will be presented by your cousin to controvert your allegation. But as you said you have all the evidence against your cousin it will be up to your lawyer to draw out your complaint. Normally in the process before the Prosecutor you need to be there to attest to your complaint. again it will all depend on the prosecutor if he will allow your counsel to appear less your presence.
