In this article, I think about the controversial inheritance case Llorente vs Llorente in Nabua which lasted for 15 years and which reached all the way to the Philippine Supreme Court, becoming a landmark case on divorce and succession.

I'm now filling out the marketing questionnaire from the press. I am asked to list names and email addresses of folks who are interested in purchasing the book for their own use/research or for adopting it in their courses. Please let me know if you'd like me to list your name! Thanks! Salamat!
