Manghihilot Festival

Healing Festival is already an existing project of the Local Government of Siquijor as the province was known to be an Island of Magick and Healing.

Great healers can be found in this province and sad to say government agencies doesnt give any support from them except to the DILG, DTI and Department of Tourism.

People around the world travel by air, land and seas to witness and experience the healing wonders of the Filipino that are concentrated in Siquijor Islands; that every Holy Week local healers found their own pride and identity as Filipino Healer.

But great Healers in the Philippines are not all can be found in Siquijor. They are scattered all around the Philippines. And we in the academy have been blessed to participate on the annual event in Siquijor.

This year, on October 28 you do not need to go to Siquijor just to become part of this Annual Healing Festival. We are making Manghihilot Festival to be part of municipality, city and provinces as part of our cultural heritage and tourism industry.

Join us and be part of our Manghihilot Pride in reclaiming back our Identity as Hilot.

The Babaylan and Hilot

The Babaylan are called differently from different ethnic tribes in the Philippines.

In the Katagalugan Region, the Babaylan are known as Katalona and from the Katalona there are babaylan who do specific task such as the healer is known as Manggagamot; Herbalist as Lubus; Spiritual Medium as Anitero/ Anitera; Diviner as Manghuhula; and midwife as Hilot.

The work of Hilot is derived from the authority and power of the Babaylan.

The knowledge of Manghihilot is derived from the wisdom of the Babaylan which are the eldest amongst the Human creation of the Diwata.

In ancient times of our History, the Babaylan are the counselor of the tribal Chief and the mediator of the People to the Divine.

The counsel of the Babaylan help people to cross to the light from Darkness.

Now-a-days, the work of manghihilot must have a Divine ordination and not a mundane institutionalization and standardization.

There is no government instution who can lead the work of manghihilot but the institution that been bestowed by the Divine to the Babaylan.

Our Youtube Account is suspended

I am trying to upload video on our youtube channel for Hilot TV. This video content that i have uploaded on Facebook does not allow by youtube as they determine it to violate their community standard.

The case on which they suspend our YouTube account is spam, scams or commercially deceptive content. According to their standard, this is how they define this standard:

So in their definition, we are accused of creating misleading descriptions, tags, titles of thumb nails; where as we upload video of the 5 manipulative strokes in Hilot Massage that focuses on applying oil that we call Pahid.

This incident of suspending our youtube channel is very sad on my part as i give effort on developing and creating content that will spread awareness of our very own Traditional Healing modalities, but since we are in social media, the people behind these platform seems to be the experts in these modalities.

I feel that Youtube doesnt want people to know new things and wanted only to rely on the content what Youtube provide in the Public.

Social Media such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all other platform such as these and WordPress have a very powerful role in influencing peoples mind as people now-a-days are so much hooked on these platform.

And these platform becomes the world standard of modern learning as people around the world use it everyday and every moment in their lives not only as to relieve their ignorance and sadness but also to reach out people across the seas and continents.

People uses these platforms to like and be liked so as to earn a heart from millions of people who live across this planet. Aside from gaining likes and hearts, we also gain knowledge from the contents created every moment, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years.

Well for the content creator who spend all of their time and effort in creating, i salute you for being so wonferful in doing all of your stuffs; and for me, well i have to wait until next time that i could post again my content in youtube or better yet if i have sufficient fund i will upgrade my subsctiption to wordpress to be able to upload video through VideoPress.

There are many other things that Hilot Academy could provide to the world as the world need to know about Hilot. We are using these platforms to re introduce our Ancient Healing Arts but as for now, we are limited to do it only on the real world.

I hope that we could see each other personally on the traditional face to face encounter and not only in social media like this.

Indigenous Herbal Product

Healthcare must be a non negotiable industry in the Philippines but should not be a monopoly capitalism.

People must have an access to healthcare of their choice. Even in the field of Herbal Medicine there is a trend of capitalizing on imported herbal products.

Our country is rich on Natural Resources and has plenty of medicinal herbs that grows naturally in the yards of every Filipino home. Due to uneducation, commercial advertisement of imported herbal products are within reach to the Filipinos through multi media. There are only few who promote local herbal products in our country and one of this is the Bio Nutri Wealth.

Yesterday we visit the office of Bionutriwealth enterprises to see their herbal products and on how they help Filipino people in taking care of their health.

Together with Ms. Grace Sanico of I Steps Inc. and Lunas ay Hilot sa Kalusugan with Lakay Alsent Magbaya of Luntiang Aghama, we had a meeting with Ms. Marisa Flores and Mr. Joe of Bionutri Wealth Enterprises to discuss about their products and its bemefit to the health of the Filipino people.

Soon we will introduce here their products and how it well help you maintain optimum health and wellness.

Hilot sa Hapag

Our behaviour change and so does our mind does’nt work well when we are Hungry. Filipino culture values food as source of life that makes food a valuable industry in the money market.

As our body respond to hunger by changing our attitude and behavior so does food also can change our attitude and behaviour by influencing our internal organs to function.

This is the reason why our parents prepare meal in the table for us to eat. Even when we are sick, we are encourage to eat so that we regain our strength.

In Hilot, we also use food to channel healing powers that will restore the individual health and wellness.

Anitu, Baybay, Baro at Hilot

Longtime ago before the Colonial Period in the Philippines, children were not taught in schools by teachers but by their parents. Modern Science and Art as people brag about today are unknown except for the knowledge on how to live their life in harmony with Nature.  Children learn to stand, walk and talk as they have been taught by their Parents, Grand Parents, Uncle and Aunt as well as their brother and sister. Strong Family values have been inculcated to the heart and mind of the Children in the past generation.

When the Colonizer came to our land, so as the modern technology arrived. Education System was put up that separate children from their homes to learn modern science and art. Parents strive hard to work and earn so that they may pay for their children schooling.  Before, education is free as it has been taught out of love by our Parents; now it has a price that sacrifice family values out of the so called better future of our new generation.

Now-a-days, even we are at home; we lack the skills of living our life. We rely our daily lives on the modern technology that has been brought by this new Generation which is the Millenial Age. Children do not know how to play with their neighbors except playing on their tablet or android. Preparing food now is just a click or dial a way and wait for the delivery service for their food; and there are a lot of things are lacking these days with the people living in this present generation.

Hilot is one of the many knowledge in the past that people have forgotten. So as our own hand writing system which is Baybayin and our ancient religion which is Anituhan. Even right now, we do not wear any more our traditional clothing and have forgotten what really it is.

Filipino Pride

When non Filipino comes to the Philippines, what would they like to see in the Philippines?

Ofcourse the Filipino People, Culture and Tradition.

Hilot is one of authentic Filipino Pride that we could offer to non Filipino when they visit our country. It is not Massage but Hilot which is truly Filipino.

Learn Hilot and be Proud to be a Filipino.
