3/3/22, 9:21 AM SUPREME COURT REPORTS ANNOTATED VOLUME 484
“Going over all the arguments of the parties, after hearing has
been set relative thereto, this Court has observed that indeed the
judicial administrator had not submitted to the Court any report
about the Estate under his administration except those involving
the cases he filed and/or intervened in other branches. This may
be due to his being inexperienced, but this fact will not be reason
enough to remove him from the administration of the Estate as
Judicial Administrator thereof. However, considering that the
Intervenor is claiming to be the patriarch of the Uy family and
who claims to have enormous knowledge of the businesses and
properties of the decedent Jose K.C. Uy, it is the feeling of this
Court that it will be very beneficial to the Estate if he be
appointed co-administrator (without removing the already
appointed Judicial Administrator) of the Estate of Jose K.C. Uy, if
only to shed more light to the alleged enormous
properties/businesses and to bring 14
them all to the decedent’s
Estate pending before this Court.”
