Jules ledesma wife passed away

[UPDATE: Please see corrections provided by Julio A. Ledesma in his comments below.]

Yesterday I attended a talk by Jules Ledesma at the University of St. La Salle on Entrepreneurship.

Jules is a former congressman, a billionaire, and presently the highest-paying taxpayer in the country. His is a very interesting life. He was born heir to three inheritances: to his father’s estate and the estates of two aunts who remained single all their lives. He owns not hundreds but thousands of hectares of land. His annual net income is around 220 million pesos. All this is a matter of public knowledge, so I’m not divulging confidential information in writing this. When he told the audience, “I am wealthy,” he wasn’t bragging; he was simply stating an objective fact. The man has more money than I will ever make in multiple lifetimes!

One thing that impressed me about him was his sense of stewardship. He said that when he was five years old his aunt showed him the vast expanse of land that he was to inherit someday, and she told him, “You will have to tak

BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – A lawyer is now in hot water for filing a petition in court seeking to declare Rep. Julio Ledesma IV (1st district, Negros Occ.) incompetent.

Lawyer Epifanio Liberal Jr. filed a petition at the San Carlos Regional Trial Court against Ledesma to judicially declare him of “unsound mind who cannot, without outside aid, take care of himself and manage his property, thereby making the latter easy target for deceit and exploitation.”

In his petition, the lawyer claimed that the physical and mental incapacity of Ledesma became apparent to him sometime in 2011. He cited the lawmaker’s alleged indiscernible and incoherent speech, hand gestures, and body language, among others, as basis for his petition.

Dan Pondevilla, counsel of Ledesma, said the petition smacks of “black propaganda” hatched by Ledesma’s political rivals. Ledesma’s allies dropped hints that Liberal is merely being used by Ledesma’s political opponents.
