But I have come to the conclusion that you don't have any idea what you are talking about. I wish to educate you further about the details of this matter but I'll leave that to your own initiative. Thank you. Hello Bill Bilig,

I admire your tenacity about this issue. But I have come to the conclusion that you don’t have any idea what you are talking about. I wish to educate you further about the details of this matter but I’ll leave that to your own initiative. Thank you.

Where did I ever say that you Igorots there in UK are not concerned about the preservation of our culture? Can you pinpoint it? I would be glad to know where and apologize if I did.<br/><br/>The whole point of the original post is that I find the actions of the embassy insufficient in finding an appropriate place for this hut. If you can dispute that assessment, then what are the facts? What did the embassy do other than inviting you Igorots in UK to perform a watchamacallit ritual? <br/><br/>Unfair to coin "death ritual"? This is the sentence at the Igorot-UK page in relation to the hut from which "death ritual" is coined from, "As we perform rituals in birth, so shall we in death." What's so unfair about coining "death ritual" from said sentence?<br/><br/>Because the sentence is rhetorical? <br/>Well my friend, "death ritual" is tongue in cheek. Hi Anonymous,

Because the sentence is rhetorical?
Well my friend, “death ritual” is tongue in cheek.

I don’t know how the Inquirer gathered information about this article but obviously they have taken much about it from your blog.
And the posting about the ifugao granary was even taken from the announcement page of igorot.net.
I think it is extremely unfair to coin terms such as ‘death rituals’from a rhetoric statement included in the announcement and to make up speculations without even gathering the right information and contacting the people concerned.

I am among the igorots who attended the ceremony before it was dismantled and I can say that the article was unjustly written and insufficient of facts.
