When it comes to answering or giving a solution to ones personal problem, there is no right or wrong. Its just that your choices will either lead you to a bright or bleak future. Now Margarette is torn between two choices; its either she use the 1,000,000 for her mothers operation and face being sued or just accept the fact that her mother is dying and she doesnt have the needed amount to pay for the operation and to just let her mother go. If I were Margerette, I would also have a hard time choosing. The thing at stake here is the life of my mother and my future. But if I do take the money and use it for the operation, theres a thin chance for her to survive. And if she do survive from the operation, who would take care of her if I would be in jail for estafa? I need to be there for her even in her last breath because according to the Article 315 of the Revised Penal Code on deceit/swindling (estfa) provides any person who shall defraud another by any of the means mentioned therein shall be punished by the penalty of prision correccional in its maximum period to prision mayor in its minimum period, if the amount of the fraud is over 12,000 pesos but does not exceed 22,000 pesos, and if such amount exceeds the latter sum, the penalty provided in this paragraph shall be imposed in its maximum period, adding one year for each additional 10,000 pesos; but the total penalty which may be imposed shall not exceed twenty years; provided that the fraud be committed by any of the following means: 1. With unfaithfulness or abuse of confidence, namely: X x x. (b) By misappropriating or converting, to the prejudice of another, money, goods, or any other personal property received by the offender in trust or on commission, or for administration, or under any other obligation involving the duty to make delivery of or to return the same , even

though such obligation be totally or partially guaranteed by a bond; or by denying having received such money, goods, or other property.1 X x x. Instead of risking being sued and not taking care of my mother till her last breath, i would choose to let my mother go. Not becuase i dont want to go to jail but for me, it would be a selfless act. I think Margarette just want her mother to stay becuase shes all that she got. And in doing so, shes being selfish. Shes prolonging her mothers torture. The pain would be so much worse the longer she stays. What kind of daughter wants to see her mother in pain? All of us wants the torture to end; and if in doing so we need to let go, as long as she would have peace, then so be it. Margarette just need to come to terms with everything and accept that her mother is dying. Maybe she could make the last few hours of her mother worthwhile for the both of them. Because at some point in our lives, were all goinng to die. Its just that her mothers death is so sudden that she cant let go.
