Does anyone know if Felderhof is making any effort to carry out de'Guzeman's ultimate wish and make sure the school/shrine in his homeland gets built. [by the way, it's interesting if this was really discussed in advance betweeen a forty year old geologist and his much older boss. Usually, in my experience, these are not missions to be undertaken in mid-life. Why would it be discussed with a foreigner boss, rather that a younger Phil. wife or son?] Anyway, anyone who has worked with Philippine catholics knows how important the completion of such undertakings is, and would empathise with the idea that M de'G would have derived some peace and redemption in the thought of his traditional parting gift to the Philippinas as he made his final exit. Considering that de'Guzemans demise means that any eventual squealing on offsite staff by the other Phil. workers will never be seen as credible (as Felderhoff can claim he never gave any direct instructions to any of them, only to de Guzeman), something of that sort is the least that Felderhoff should do.
IMO

Walter: I also believe that deGuzman may be alive. No DNA sample was ever taken from the mess of human remains found in the steamy jungle, and questions raised by dental record comparisons have never been answered. deGuzman's relatives could have put a lot of suspicions to rest by allowing a DNA test on the body returned to the Philippines. It wouldn't surprise me at all to hear that deGuzman had 'risen' when some person travels to his home village sometime in the future. By then, Bre-X will all be a long-ago memory and people will probably be willing "to forgive and forget". Perhaps he has a Pentium, and is reading our posts here!
