Since last night as we practice the Body works of Hilot we encounter to experience pain as we apply pressure on their body. This pain is a good pain which we can embrace because as we apply pressure to the body part it will gradually fade away.
Pain is an indicator that we are healthy enough to sense or feel that we have problem, and through Hilot fix the part of the body that has problem or issues.
Today is the 3rd to the last day of Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training that we conduct at Tagaytay Tropical Green Subdivision which is the house of Lakapati Filipinas Inc. that is our participant and volunteer for this class. For the whole month of February we tirelessly work on sharing the Ancestral Knowledge of Filipino Healing Arts and Science to our Kapwa that comes from different part of the world, and this time Angelica Kai comes from Glendale, California.
The Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan is an 8 days intensive training that is divided into two parts. The First part of the training focuses on the Mind/ Spirit workings that will orient you to the Ancient Filipino Indigenous Spiritual Beliefs and practices such as in the belief to the Anito, Diwata and Enkanto; the 7 souls of Man; The Filipino Concept of Life, Health, Illness and Wellness; Tawas or traditional method of Diagnosis or Divination; and the importance of performing ritual in healing to affect cure.
While the second part of the training focuses on Body Works or the application of necessary actions to affect cure such as in performing Suob/ Palina Ritual, Pagpag- Pauli Ritual, Dagdagay, Bentusa, Pagsasala and Hilot Pahid. It is important for our Manghihilot or Hilot Binabaylan to be proficient in both aspect of working with the spirits as well as in performing body works as we believe that our life comes from the spirit and life blessings comes from the spirit.
Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan is offered all year round and can be arranged by reserving a schedule with us. For more information you may contact Apu Adman Aghama by sending us an email at hilot.binabaylan@gmail.com or at whats app at +639480177571.
Our feet is given to us by the Divine so that we may learn how to stand for our self and to walk. As we walk we journey life to see all what the world has to provide. We see and experience all the good things and bad so that may learn from it.
As Manghihilot we stand and walk in between the world to learn and share our life experience in this journey thus helping other to be aware also of the blessings and challenges of life has to give.
In Philippine Traditional Medicine, we see the feet as a part of our body that enable us to be firm to what we have said and responsible to the things we choose to have in our life. It is also our feet allow us to move on specially in going forward to achieve progression and success in our life. Treating our feet with Traditional Filipino Foot Massage which is known as Dagdagay Kulis help our feet to be healthy and in good shape.
Learn Dagdagay Kulis Traditional Foot Massage from us and book your schedule that we may arrange your learning session with us in the academy.

When we are sick it give us pain and loneliness. Our situation make us worry about the future and many what if’s of our life. No one likes to keep the pain and suffering thus we want to take it off in our system and be well. This is what Hilot is bringing you and that is to stop the pain and suffering by giving you relief and happiness to enjoy your life.
At first we see pain as indicator that your mind is responding to an external stimulus. Since we determine that there is pain, we can work out that pain and remove it by smoothing it out through application of our healing oil and herbal supplement. Indeed you will feel extreme pain while we perform the treatment but after that you will feel relief.
As Manghihilot we are the bringer of Happiness to our patients by relieving them from their pain and suffering. We provide them inspiration to motivate them living their life to the fullest with optimism and trust in their own ability that everything will be okay.
I believe as a public figure (being the Chief Priest of Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. and Administrator of Hilot Academy of Binabaylan) everyone deserves to know my current health status.
Yesterday February 21, 2020 when i woke up in the morning i was okay doing my daily routine. I was able to accomplish the printing of the training module for Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training for next week and have prepared also the training materials needed for the said training. By Lunch time, we went home to my father’s house to eat lunch and do laundry. I have able to play with my nephew Luis and made a video that I am now Home.
Then while eating lunch when i’m almost done, i suddenly feel pain on my chest and trembling of my muscles and nerve. I try to burp out these energetic blockages and do self massage with no relief so i decided to be admitted to the Emergency Room of Skyline Hospital as accompanied by Lakay Magbaya.
At the hospital i feel very cold that i ask for a blanket to cover me while they are doing their test. But the pain that i felt was so terrible.The attending nurse get my vital signs such as blood pressure and it was normal 120 mmHg/ 80 mmHg. I am aware when they get my vitals. Then they run an ECG Test and blood sample for testing to see if my situation is heart attack.
After running some test i get tired of the pain. They gave me paracetamol to relieve the pain that i am feeling but it was of no use. Then they inserted needle on my left hand and through it they administered iv medicine which is also a pain reliever that made me sleep. After 15 to 30 minutes, the attending doctor checked on me and see that i fall asleep and he gave recommendation for discharge and do home medication. Lakay asked what had happen to me to the doctor and the result of the test was normal. They don’t see any problem with my heart so as to my blood and the doctor think that the pain in my chest was just an acid reflux.
So after paying the Hospital Bill we went home but still in pain. Lakay ask me if we will buy medicine but i said no because the medicine the doctor gave me does not take effect so it is our time now to use our own medicine which is hilot. As soon as we arrive to the Shrine I ask lakay to prepare coconut husk and the loose Incense Maria have given to us. I prepare amulaser tea and do the suob palina. While doing the Palina, Lakay perform the pagpapahid and do some hilot maipulation on my chest and back and through God’s grace i was relieved from the pain.
So to everyone there is nothing to worry anymore and i pray that we could still continue our work in advocating our own medicine which is the Philippine Traditional Hilot. With these experience i see a far difference from the Modern Medicine to our own Traditional Medicine. Well if you come here i will share to you in person the difference of Hilot to the Modern Medical Practice.
It’s an broken egg with its yolk on the base of the glass while the albumen floats and create images.
This is an Egg Tawas. Our Mexican #Kapwa Curanderos does this too in their Limpia Ritual. So as in Italy they do this once a Year at the Eve of the Feast of Saint Peter.
Aside from Tawas, Hilot Academy also teach how to remove sick energies using the Egg. So we invite you to learn this technique by enrolling to our Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training which is an 8 day stay in training at Hilot Academy.
This is what had happen when we start our class of Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training this year. We thought that people will not come due to the event of Tandang Taal Volcanic eruption. At first they were hesitant to come and ask if it is safe to go here in the Philippines. Originally our class was scheduled from the 17th of January 2020 but it was moved on the 24th of January.
We welcome our first batch of trainees on the 24th of January 2020 and they are Julz Bolinayen of Hawaii and Jamee Pineda of Washington, DC. They were accompanied by Julz cousin sherwin and have a short orientation and give them a view of what to expect during the training. After the orientation we do our first activity on activating the hands energy centers though the paper folding exercise as facilitated by Lakay.
Our student were amazed knowing their power hand and have enjoyed discovering their inner abilities through the exercise. Indeed that our Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training is more about self discovery of our own abilities through communication with our inner selves and channeling the message of the spirit to our conscious mind.
Lakay have shared his knowledge on the 5 elements and on how it affect our lives. By knowing the elements we become an alchemist that balance the flow of each element in our lives by determining its functions to our body. By sharing our techniques we allow each of them to practice their acquired skills in Tawas which is our Hilot method of Scanning or Diagnosis which is also a form of Divination.
Let us hear now what Julz have to say to her partner Jamee on his egg tawas divination.
As she is done reading, we ask her how she gets the information in reading Jamee’s egg.
Now Julz have done her part, its now Jamee’s turn to read the Egg tawas for Julz.
Lets hear Jamee on how he attuned to the Egg Tawas.
After they have done performing the diagnostic ritual of tawas, we invite both of them to come to our Shrine to receive their Binabaylan Name. The ritual was facilitated by Apu and Lakay in Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. Lot 79 Phase A Francisco Ave., Brgy. Francisco Homes Narra, City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, Philippines.
As Hilot Binabaylan, we are not just working with the Physical Body but as well as with the patients emotional, mental and spiritual body. And we do not just heal the body it self but we also do heal the environment where the person lives. This is the main difference of the Traditional Medicine Practitioner to the practitioners of Modern Medicine, we care and treat not only the illness but also the entirety of the person.
There are more of Julz and Jamee’s story on their journey of learning the Philippine Traditional Indigenous and Natural Medicine. If you want to experience what have Jamee and Julz had experience, you may book now your schedule with us to learn the Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training by emailing us at hilot.binabaylan@gmail.com or by filing up the form below.
Yesterday as i checked on the Website of Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care i saw on their home page that they already have revised the Implementing Rules and Regulation of the Republic Act 8423 or other wise known as the Philippine Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act of 1997. This law creates the Department of Health institution on Traditional and Alternative Medicine. In this Revised Implementing Rules and Regulation of PITAHC they have stated their objectives in encouraging Scientific Research on the Traditional Medicine as well as to develop alternative healthcare system that has direct impact on public health. It is also stated in the IRR the promotion and advocate the use of traditional, alternative healthcare modalities that are proven safe, effective, cost effective and consistent with government standards on health care practices.
You may check and download the IRR by clicking it here.
On Rule 2 of the IRR we can see the definition of terms and we found on section 1 and phrase P, they have defined Hilot as to the science and art of the ancient Filipino healing grounded on the principle of balance of the physical elements, together with the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the person, with the use of manipulations, “bulong” or “oracion”, and medicinal plants for the prevention of disease and for the restoration and maintenance of health and well-being. They have beautifully defined Hilot being the Science and Art of Ancient Filipino Healing but through their definition they have omitted the function of the Manghihilot in performing diagnostic procedure such as in the practice of tawas and pagpupulso.
We also notice in their definition of Traditional Medicine is different from what the World Health Organization have defined it.
PITAHC Definition of TRADITIONAL MEDICINE as the sum total of knowledge, skills and practice on health care, not necessarily explicable in the context of modern, scientific, philosophical framework, but recognized by the people to help maintain and improve their health towards the wholeness of their being, the community and society, and their interrelations based on culture, history, heritage and consciousness.
While the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION defined Traditional Medicine as:
It is the sum total of the knowledge, skill, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness.
In Hilot Academy we follow the Definition of World Health Organization thus we claim that Hilot is not just a Healing Art and Science but as a Traditional Medicine. As Manghihilot we are not just a Healer but we are a Traditional Medicine Practitioner which means we apply our knowledge to maintain health, for diagnosis, prevention, improvement or treatment of Physical, Emotional and Mental Illnesses. As manghihilot we employ our knowledge on the use of Herbs (Halaman), Heat (Init), Light (Liwanag), Time & Words (Orasyon+ Prayer and Time) and water to affect cure to our patient.
Last September 24, 2019 i accept the case of Tatay Ricardo who suffered from CVA or stroke. It’s been already a year when the Family met me and try my service. Before me tatay rick had undergone Physical Therapy sessions and have acquired services from massage therapist who do home service. He even got burn when one of the therapist they hire give him a hot stone massage to awaken his nerves and blood vessels. Instead of getting well he got injury. I assessed his condition by asking some question. He could speak up well and the words he utters are understandable. He describe and demonstrated that he could not move his left part of the body from the upper arms and lower leg but his right side of the body are working well. After knowing every details i need to know, i started calling back the lost soul of tatay ricardo to be one with his body again. I apply the Binabaylan Healing oil and do the 5 elemental hilot manipulation to awaken his nerves and blood vessels. I also touch the healthy part of his body in order to assist the flow of life force in his body to create balance. At first there is so much radiating pain as a response to every healing touch i made. This signifies that his body is alive and responding to every touch i made. After a few stroke i ask tatay rick to describe the severity of the pain and thankfully in every movement the pain lessen until there was none.
In healing with Hilot, there must be 3 elements always present in every session:
We acknowledge God in every healing session we make in Hilot as we believe that God is the ultimate source of Healing as he is also the source of Life. Secondly we believe that as Manghihilot, we are the channel of the Divine Blessings of God to heal all illnesses known to mankind and to maintain the Life Force Flowing through all creation; and lastly, the individual must also believe and trust their own ability to be healed and they must also be willing to participate in God’s power to Re Create life within us. The Patient and the Manghihilot acts as God’s Co Creator in Re Creating Life within the patient. The healing of hilot does not always take effect instantaneously. It also requires the element of time in order to create the artwork of life beautifully in our life.
As Manghihilot we call our recipient as Patient because it really require patience on both side in order for the healing effect take place. And here we can see that as Manghihilot, we just don’t give massage for relaxation because we do not pamper our patients but instead we teach them to be responsible in their own health. Now let us take a look at Tatay Ricardo as he progress with our Hilot Session for 3 months.
Year 2019 is almost over and before it end, we thank the Universe for its blessings and challenges that we have met through this year. At the start of the year i thought that it will be permanently Good Bye for Habi as i plan to stop sharing my knowledge and experience in Philippine Traditional Hilot and focus on attending to my Mother’s failing health. But despite of the situation while my mother is in the Hospital, i had an opportunity to be Interviewed on a TV Show at GMA 7 I juander about Hilot.
The TV interview and my nanay’s condition encourage me to do well in Hilot that i started to formulate the Amulaser Tablet Herbal Food Supplement and that is the first blessings that came to Habi in 2019. Though in the past i already tried making herbal capsules and tea bags but it does not goes well for me. I’m not discouraging anyone not to use capsules but making herbal tablet works faster than using capsules or tea which you will learn more if you enroll to our Hilot Herbal Class.
When my nanay died, all my dreams for Hilot collapsed and said to my self to totally stop everything and keep it all to my self including my faith. The death of my nanay hurt me as i feel that i’ve been a failure. As people come to comfort the family through my nanay’s lost, the voice of the Spirit cheered me up and affirm that my Nanay want me to continue the works that i’ve started in preserving and promoting Philippine Traditional and Indigenous Medicine. And through Nanay’s Blessing she blessed us to produce new Hilot Binabaylan from Washington DC, USA; Turin, Italy; and in Grenoble, France. And on September i welcome Stroke patient for home visitation treatment.
In Hilot academy we emphasize that Hilot is not just a form of Massage but a complete art and science of diagnostic, healthcare and treatment of physical, emotional and mental illness practiced by our ancestors. You will experience Authentic Hilot if you booked an appointment to visit us.
People might think that Hilot Academy of Binabaylan is a business for profit institution but in reality it is not.
Hilot Academy is an Educational Ministry member of Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. The Academy only operates as an Educational Institution during the availability of the Students. HIlot Academy does not have School Calendar or specific dates when we offer our classes. All of our Training Program are designed for one-on-one or group actual sharing and transfer of technology to all who request to learn from us. Unlike regular schools that needs to meet the minimum number of enrollees before the training program to commence; in Hilot Academy we do our class even if there is only one enrollee.
During its operation, the Academy will ask certain amount of money to its student in a form of Training Fee that will compensate our trainers as well as for the expenses on the Training Modules, Materials, Venue, Food and Accommodation of he stay-in student/s. Not all day, weeks or month we have student. So if we rely our living to the income that we earn through teaching hilot, it will not sustain the daily living of our volunteers. The operation of the Academy is purely based on dedication and in its advocacy to preserve our Traditional and Indigenous Medicine which is part of our Cultural Identity as Filipino.
By the Year 2020, we will still continue to share our knowledge of Filipino Traditional, Indigenous and Natural Medicine in preservation and promotion of Hilot. But this coming year, we will focus on Herbal Cultivation and Production so that we can share it to people who are in need. Students who will enroll into our Training Program will have the chance to sponsor underpreviledged individual that is suffering from Cancer, Diabetes or KIdney problem to have free Amulaser Herbal Tablet that could help them relieve from their condition. We believe that Mother Nature has a cure for our illness and through your enrollment to us we can extend the blessings of healing to come to those people using our product.
With these goal in 2020, Hilot Academy of Binabaylan will document all the plants, herbs and trees that grow in our backyard. We already have Aloe Vera, Acapulco, Avocado, Cacao, Guava, Guyabano, Gotu kola, Makabuhay, Mulberry, Mugwort, Nyog Nyogan (Ficus Psuedopalma Blanco), Serpentina, Sinenguelas, Turmeric, Star Apple, oregano, pandan, tungkod pari, Mango and Lagundi. We will set a special page of these plants on our website indicating its medicinal properties and the illnesses that it could heal.
We will utilize these gifts of Mother Nature to us and apply our knowledge in manufacturing Herbal Products such as Healing Oil, Salve, Liniment, Tincture, Syrup, Medicated Bath Soap, and Herbal Tablet as food supplements.
Our doors will remain open to those who seek healing through hilot and they can have it through donation basis. The elderly specially those who suffer from cardio vascular ailments such as stroke will be our outmost priority and the only case that we can do for home.visitation treatment. Couples who want help in having a baby must book an appointment to have fertility hilot session.
