My father, born as a Roman Catholic in the Philippines, converted in North America to a Baptist Protestant under the guidance of other Filipinos. At the time, he was hexed by joblessness. He was often a businessman of different wares and foodstuffs. Despite calling himself a Christian, he sometimes forayed into Buddhism, practice of meditation, and ideas of reincarnation. He believed that when he would die, he would be reborn in a different body in a different world—a different "planet."
