Dear PAO,

I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.My oncologist, Dr. Van, has been treating me for the past eight months.However, when I woke up the other day, I felt like my body was giving up.Since I don't have a spouse or child, and my parents are already dead, I want to make a last will and testament distributing my estate to my siblings.I also want to show my gratitude to Dr. Van by giving him a parcel of land in Baguio City. Can I bequeath the said parcel of land to Dr. Van?
