Had a conversation with Lakay about the services of what Hilot could provide. At one point, Lakay thought of Hilot should be convenient to the client to allow them to have Hilot Treatment even at night time just what Spa are providing and some are open for 24 hours just to be available for people.
But in that case, the practitioner will suffer on violating the Natural Laws such as of working by day and resting by night. Unless our Government see Hilot as Essential Health Care providers that work in a Hospital Setting, then Hilot Care can be provided anytime of the day as long as it is considered as an Emergency care. When a person see something wrong with them at night unless if it is Life risking situation, people go to the Emergency Room of any hospital which is open for 24 hours. Unless when there is child birth, that I know that Hilot is called upon even on Unholy hours of the night.
Hilot should be part of our Government Health Care Delivery System and not of the Tourism Hospitality Care provider. Another issue that I found here is that when an Employee becomes sick and consult to a Manghihilot, the company does not recognize Hilot Certification unless it is a medical certificate. Going to a Manghihilot is not a valid reason for an employee to be absent in their work nor at school. So the one who suffer here is the Manghihilot who should extend their working hours even at the unholy hours of the night. As Hilot we does not only treat the Physical Body when an individual get sick, but we also treat their emotions and intellect by teaching them discipline. Our working hours should follow the movement of the sun as it gives life while night time it allow us to recharge by having rest.
