Then it would be good to post WHY this might be happening. If it’s about money, please explain. It’s all anonymous, so it’s just to explain the situation, not sheer nosiness. If it’s about who owns which properties, that might help too. The situation with you and your fiancee living a long way apart is also hard to understand. If it’s about a long standing disagreement with your sister, that’s relevant too.
If you have to get legal advice, the lawyer will want all these details. Get it straight by explaining it here and you will save lawyer’s fees. A short written summary avoids a long and expensive meeting. Yours, Margaret
Seems like the additional info could have been added to the first post in as a reply.

No need to have two posts. She could have added additional information to the first post. Perhaps she didn’t think about doing that.
Maybe I'm missing something but why can't you go there yourself and bring mom home? Or have your fiancé bring her to you?
Does your Mom have a medical diagnosis of cognitive or memory impairment?
Is anyone in the US her PoA?
Do you know if your Mom assigned your sister as a Philipino version of PoA, legal in that country?
I think due to the international nature of this issue, you really need to consult with an attorney.
