1. Yes. The handwritten letter is considered an Holographic Will.

Under the New Civil Code, a person can execute a holographic will
which must be entirely written, dated and signed by the hand of the
testator himself, it requires no form so long as the aforesaid
requirements are complied.

In the case at hand, the letter written by AAA complies with the
formalities of an holographic will since it is entirely written by
AAA, dated on November 11, 2017 and signed by AAA, although
it is a disinheritance instrument, the same constitutes an act of
disposition of the property of the testator, because he identifies who
will inherit and not.
