date given above, I attended a funeral ceremony of my uncle who had died in the

Philippines. My cousins living in California retrieved the body back from

overseas to be buried in San Francisco, CA. Our culture in the Philippines,

which is predominantly Christian, does not accept cremation as an alternative

to burial.During the gathering of friends and relatives, I found out that my

cousins in the Philippines had issued a "fatwah" against me. This was an

implied threat that I should not go back to my hometown. Apparently, this was

in retaliation for withholding the money that I kept for another uncle who had

died many years ago. They were expecting me to distribute the inheritance money

to the relatives. In terms of American dollars, the amount is not significant. I

purposely withheld the money to force my cousins to let me take title to a house

property which my parents owned. My parents died many ago. However, my

cousins determined that the land was on ancestral property. As such, they

determined that I was not entitled to owning the land.The value of the house

and lot is not important to me. I am trying to address an issue of justice,

equity, and the rule of law. I am willing to have a legal court determine who

is the legal owner of the property. However, my cousins are not willing to do

that. They are "proclaiming" that the property is theirs.Hence, we have a

dilemma put forth during the period of Mercury, the atmakaraka. My other

relatives here in the United States recommended that I relinquish the land.

However, I believe that idea, although convenient, is avoiding the main issue.

We will see what else will unfold in the near future.Regards,John R.To
