Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years.

Ancestor's Home in Cabanatuan, Philippines

 


Living in ancestor’s house where my mom grew up when she was young with her parents and siblings where memories bring back every time, she would visit her hometown.

The ancestor’s house remains where it is being taking cared of a relative as your caretaker and this happens to a lot of people who have reached a retirement age having a home so big it is hard to manage here in the Philippines to pay someone to take care of your home is inexpensive compared to other countries.

No matter if you’re earning more than the Philippine currency you can afford the living expenses and the expenses that come having an ancestor’s home.

What happens when none of your siblings don’t want to migrate and retire back in the Philippines, they are content with their life abroad? Most people end up selling their ancestor’s home due to the life situation they decided upon and the share of how much with its value gets divided by equal share of each sibling and in any case, you have a sibling who no longer living and decease their share goes to their children to inherit.

Of course each sibling needs to pay equal share of the expenses made during the process and help pay the daily expense to take care of their ancestor’s home and to pay the property taxes to make sure the bank doesn’t get a hold of it in the future.
