"Dear Sir Tony:

"Greetings of peace!

"I am E.A., __ years old from _________ City.

"To give you a brief background regarding my concern, I live on a compound which was owned by my late grandma (mother of my mom, died ___.20__) and one house is a bungalow apartment which is managed by my tita (mom's sister-in-law). There is a tenant in there since 1990. The guy's name is_______ (now __ years old) who lives with his mistress (died ___ 20__) they got a son whose now, __ yrs old. 

"We had family dispute back in 20__ because, my mom's siblings wanted to kick us out of the said Makati compound...but we stayed up to now.

"My dilemma started after the typhoon 'Ondoy' in 2009 where I let the tenant and his family stay on our ___ floor together with their border named _______, whose married to a seaman. One week after 'Ondoy', _______ started humiliating me, telling me things like:

"'...'

"'...'

...and many offensive words...

"He even told a __ year old carpenter that I am badly looking for a boyfriend. He also tell some people in the neighborhood esp. the transients that he actually owns the property. My grandma stays in the _______ and she goes home every after two years. She couldn't explain why she's mad with _______, 'the tenant'....'mainit dugo niya sa tenant' and my grandma wanted them out of the compound. 

"He also tells me 'pinagyayabang niya' that because he's an accountant, one of his client is _______________. 

"He's also been asking me many times why I got lots of rich chinese friends...??

"Until now, '_______' is stealing our mails even if he's not getting anything out of it except for the Meralco bill that I really needed to go to the business center in order to pay. As far as I can remember, I suffered depression for one year. I've consulted a psychiatrist but my doctor resigned. I even consulted an exorcist in ___________ Seminary because according to a Pastor, a former boss in _______, recommended me to consult a priest since I'm catholic. Unfortunately, nothing happened and there is no follow through. After telling me that I'm a psychic, they asked me to go to mass everyday and keep the sacramentals. Also warned me not to talk to any of my psychic friends. Then, to my dismay when I requested for another deliverance prayer, they are already asking me of a Psychological Assessment which cost Php5,000.00 in the hospital. I mean, my psychiatrist has resigned from __________________ and I was actually misdiagnosed as a Bipolar BUT I'm not...I'm NEVER manic. My mistake was I did not ask for a written document. I really don't want to go back and retell a story to a counselor or psychiatrist anymore.

"Then, my sister-in-law died in 20__ without a clear diagnosis why. Then, my lola died __________ 20__ and my mother died _______ 20__...My uncle almost didn't make it and suffered a stroke in _________ 20__.

"Whenever we meet a psychic, they say that those deaths are not due to natural causes but a product of witchcraft or curses. _______, the tenant is an origin of ____________ in __________. Whenever I burn incense, he's been reacting that I practice witchcraft. 

I don't know what else to do, parang ako na ang susunod kase I got this big wound on my right knee about the size of our palm, para nako naagnas. 

"I've also consulted an Ateneo spirit questor back in 20__ during the book fair, he told me that the reason of our misfortune is because of our lot in Bataan. But my parents did not believe during that time.

I also feel that my life is on the dead end because I'm already __ years old and I am unemployed for two years...I also keep on jumping from one job to another...there's a pattern of being mobbed by officemates...even my friends in the office are talking about me and spreading rumours even if I am NOT doing anything. 

"You maybe able to help me. I saw you in the t.v. program 'Mars' and I am encouraged again to consult a psychic like you. I really really need your help. My dad is also a kapampangan who originated in _______, Pampanga. He too have experienced some bullying from this tenant named _______. My dad is already __ years old and I'm kinda worried that if i will die, nobody will take care of him anymore.

"My mobile phone no. (0___)_______ just in case you wanted to contact me. I am really really looking forward to talk to you in person and find out what all these misfortune just happened or a product of evil doings....??

"Many thanks and GOD bless you more!

"Very best regards, 

"E.A."

My reply:

Hello E.A.!

Let me make the following clear:

1. Your lot in Bataan has nothing to do with your current situation.

2. There is no witchcraft involved anywhere here.

You need to do the following logical things:

1. Evict _______ because he seems to be an unpleasant person.

2. Stop consulting priests, psychiatrists, and psychics. That includes me.

3. Look for a female counselor, a clinical psychologist, who can listen to you and help you.

4. There must be something wrong with your personal interactions, which is why you have difficulty finding a job and getting along with co-workers. Assess yourself outside the context of anything paranormal. It is probably your desire to see the paranormal in the normal that makes things not normal.

I wish you the best of luck.
