Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The Laguna in the story ( The Man to send Rain Clouds ) are indeed from 2 worlds intermingled and this was evident in the burial of the grandfather.

Ken and Leon did not tell Father Paul that their grandfather was dead because they wanted to bury him in a traditional fashion. As the burial was going on however, Louise convinced Leon to go get Father Paul to ensure that holy water was sprinkled on the body of their grandfather. Even though Leon and Ken had wanted to give their grandfather a traditional burial, they still went ahead to try to bring Father Paul to the burial site to do the needful. After they had convinced him and he came and did it, Leon felt good that the burial had been done and was happy that holy water had been sprinkled as well.

This shows that they value both traditions being their local tradition as well as Christian tradition.
