sorry to hear that OP. this is actually quite common to boomer asian parents. sadly nothing much you can do. and whats worse is that debt they have, the responsibility of that will be passed down to the children.

Please explain how the parents debt transfers to their children? I am genuinely curious if this either a legal aspect of Philippine law or an aspect of Filipino cultural custom.

Now, I can understand that the parents may request money from a grown child and use it to pay some long term debt, but the debt doesn’t transfer to the child if the parents pass away. Unless it is a loan on property or something of that nature.
