Bing Co Pilot defines Binabaylan

We are already in our Training Center at Bahay Siadtala in Taguig City to prepare for tomorrows first day of Class. I woke up early and check my Emails and upon checking I browse at Bing.Com and my mind plays if Bing knows what is Binabaylan. Of course, just like Google it knows almost everything, but what I am amazed on what it says are the following:

Binabaylan is a term associated with the indigenous healing practices of the Philippines. Let’s explore its
significance:

Binabaylan:
The term binabaylan refers to a shaman, healer, or spiritual leader in Filipino indigenous
cultures.
These individuals play a vital role in their communities, acting as intermediaries between the physical
world and the spiritual realm.
Binabaylans are deeply connected to nature, ancestral spirits, and ancient wisdom. Their practices
involve healing, divination, and maintaining harmony within the community.
The role of a binabaylan is multifaceted, encompassing spiritual guidance, herbal medicine, rituals,
and ceremonies.
Historically, babaylans were often women, but in modern times, both men and women can take on
this sacred role.
Healing Arts and Practices:
Binabaylans utilize various traditional and natural healing arts:
Hilot: A form of massage and energy healing that involves touch, herbal remedies, and
manipulation of energy pathways.
Magtatawas: Practitioners who perform tawas, a form of divination using water and candles to
diagnose illnesses or spiritual disturbances.
Manggagamot: Healers who use herbs, chants, and rituals to address physical and spiritual
ailments.
Albularyo: Folk healers who combine indigenous knowledge with Catholic elements.
Their practices are deeply rooted in animism, ancestor veneration, and indigenous spirituality .
Revival and Recognition:
In recent years, there has been a revival of interest in binabaylan practices, especially among those
seeking alternative healing methods.
Efforts are being made to preserve and honor these ancient traditions, recognizing their cultural
significance and wisdom.
Binabaylans continue to serve their communities, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity.
In summary, binabaylans are revered as guardians of ancestral knowledge, healers, and spiritual guides, embodying the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines. 🌿

I am very honored that our efforts are being recognized even it is only online. But our work in Touching People lives will continue until we have #HealTheWorldWithHilot.

Unlearning to what we have taught to us 500 years ago.

Our Graduate show this picture in his timeline and he explains that he is showing what he have learned from us to his Family members, but when it comes to TAWAS they were afraid and he explained to them that it was our ancestral Filipino Diagnostic tool.

And I say, that was Fine because it is hard to unlearned what we have been taught about TAWAS 500 years ago. Only those who have open mind can understand and benefit from our Ancestral Healing Arts and Sciences.

Manghihilot are Ordained Ministers

Hilot is the Medicine for the Common People. It is not a luxurious treatment that been offered in a Hospitality based industries promoted by Wellness Tourism.

Indeed, our Treatment modality can be world class, but Authentic Hilot Choose it to be affordable for the Common People who earns below minimum that spends their earning just for their Family to have food in their table and excluding Health Care on their Budget.

So please, give outmost respect to our Manghihilot and not sexualize them. They relearn the our Ancestral Healing Arts and Science in order to serve Humanity in preserving your Health and not your Sexual Fantasies.

They are not just certified Practitioners but instead they are Ordained Minister that will not only care for your Body but also to your Soul and Spirit,

Hilot Binabaylan of Lafayette, California, USA

It’s been since 2019 when our Hilot Binabaylan of Lafayette, California had made request to learn Hilot Binabaylan Techniques and on February 5-14, 2024, that his dream of becoming a Hilot Binabaylan manifested. Though like what I always say during the training, we are not the one who makes an individual a Hilot Binabaylan ; just like in the Principles of Healing, that all of us has the ability to heal our selves. Our role as a trainer is just what Kai Bautista, which is our Hilot Binabaylan of Glendale, California have described, as trainer/teacher, we are like an alarm clock that awaken to knowledge of healing that sleeps within us; we are just like a guide that reminds an individual of the dormant knowledge of healing that lies within us all.

Such as on the case of Walter Sanches, he came with a knowledge of healing already as he work as a Massage Therapist on a Physical Therapy Clinic and Acupuncture Clinic in the US; so our Course that he took with us becomes a refresher and align his knowledge to the Philippine Indigenous Traditional Healing. All the skills of being a Hilot Binabaylan comes out naturally for him and he even take the challenge of doing Tandok or Hijama and did it to me.

Walter is courageous enough in performing Tandok which i am very happy for him and probably among other Hilot Binabaylan that train with us it is only Walter Sanches that could perform Tandok.

Congratulations Walter!

As all of the above-mentioned competencies are required so that you may upgrade your status on being a Hilot Binabaylan Practitioner to Hilot Binabaylan Mentor.

Mentorship Certification Program

When you take our class in the past, what you have received from us is just a Certificate as Hilot Binabaylan Practitioner. And your duties and responsibilities are only limited in providing Philippine Traditional and Indigenous Health Care into your Community. But through our Mentorship Certification Program, this will enable you to share your knowledge and expertise on the practice of Hilot Binabaylan that may initiate an Individual or group and be ordained as Hilot Binabaylan.

Requirements

Hilot Mentorship Certification is an upgrade opportunity for all of our Hilot Binabaylan Practitioners to earn extra income by becoming a Mentor & Assessor/ Evaluator. So, it is important requirement before you become a Certified Hilot Binabaylan Mentor & Assessor/ Evaluator is that you are a Hilot Binabaylan Practitioner for about 3 years. That means if you have taken the course on 2019, you are qualified to take this course. And it is important that you practice all the skills competencies prescribed in order to become a Hilot Binabaylan Practitioner or you can be a mentor of a specific skills. Such as in skills in the above-mentioned skills competencies.

How will it work?

Mentors candidate must fill up a self-evaluation form before application. It is necessary for mentors to be expert on the field that you are going to mentor or share. It is ideal for us that you should be expert in all field as Hilot Binabaylan so that you could also work as an Evaluator. In order for you to be a Certified Trainer, you have to share your knowledge of the skills you are to mentor during the regular class of Hilot Binabaylan Training and the Trainer (which is me, lakay and Mam Nora) will supervise you in co-training or mentoring. So, that means you have to attend the regular 9 days class and master each subject we teach from Hilot Diagnostics to Hilot Suplementation. Upon completion of training of the regular class of 9 days, additional days will be allotted to you for the trainer’s feedback as mentor and then the awarding of Certificate as Mentor. Upon awarding of Certificate, you are only allowed to mentor a skill which you are being certified depending on your performance if you qualify to become a trainer.

If you want to be evaluated as mentor or trainer, you may bring a student to enroll on our 9 days and we will give you chance to share your knowledge and experience as Hilot Binabaylan by becoming a mentor, co trainer with supervision.

We do Ordination of Hilot Binabaylan

Technical Education and Skills Development Authority or TESDA is an attached Agency of Philippine Department of Labor and Employment which certifies an Individual who have acquired Skills, Knowledge and Abilities on the Qualification and Competencies of being a Hilot (Wellness Massage) Provider. Whereas Philippine Institute of Traditional Alternative Health Care or Pitahc is an attached agency of Philippine Department of Health which register accredited and certified Hilot Practitioner. But these 2 attached agencies of our government advocates the practice of hilot for hospitality service rather than health care. And we here at Hilot Academy of Binabaylan advocates Hilot as a Holistic Health Care Modality that includes Care for the Soul which is inseparable to the Human Body who is alive.

This is why, our Graduation Ceremony invokes the Authority of Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts of Healing Inc. not only in terms of certifying our students but also Ordaining them to the Ministerial Work of Healing. Anointing them with our Lana Healing Oil, is likened to fueling the lamp which radiates light in darkness as our Hilot Binabaylan role in their community is to emit their light on which can help people make their life lighter by removing all the darkness and obstacles that might hinder people to enjoy their optimum health and wellness.

This is our First Graduation and Ordination for 2024, and our next schedule of class will be on February 5-14, 2024. And by February 13, within this cycle we will open to the public to enroll to our 1 day Remedial Hilot Class which only cost Php 3,500.00. Grab this opportunity to learn our Remedial Hilot Technique as you will learn it together with our International Students. Comment in this post for details or email us at apuadman@hilotacademy.com

Top Hilot School to find on Search Engine

Out of curiosity, I look up on the internet and ask for Top Search Engine and I found HotSpot Blog that has a list of Top Engine Sites. And these are on their list.

Then I start opening the search engine and ask for Hilot School. And out of 11 search engine sites, Hilot Academy of Binabaylan can be found on 7 search engine. And not only that, Hilot Academy of Binabaylan was on Top Search. First search engine I browse is Google Search.

Alang Alang, Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines.

Then we look up at Bing.com and also search for Hilot School and like at Google Search we are also on top.

Then the top 3 Hilot School search at Bing.Com is Tesda Courses Website. Then we move searching at Yahoo.com and we are still on Top.

At Yahoo Search we took the first 3 top position then on top 4 we can find the school of our Brother Virgilio Mayor Apostol which is the Kailukuhan School of Indigenous Science which is based at Walnut, California, USA.

Responding to an Inquiry through Google My Business

We made Hilot Academy of Binabaylan listed on Google Business that it help us be found by People such as the one that have made an Inquiry this day and the Question was in Tagalog.

“Magandang Hapon po… Training Center po ba ito for Massage Course? “
Good Afternoon! Is this a training center for Massage Course? -John

I choose not to reveal the face of the person who ask the Question but just like this person, many people still think of Hilot as Philippine Massage and the reason for this is what people can search through Search Engine as the information they have shared about Hilot is Massage. Such as we ask Google about what is Hilot? and this is what we can see:

It is very tough challenge for us in Hilot Academy of Binabaylan to change the thoughts and mindset of people about Hilot and only few of us really understand what Hilot Means. So, in response to the Question that been asked to us.

Hi John! We teach Hilot and not Massage. There is a big difference between Hilot and Massage. in massage they help relieve body illnesses, while in Hilot we do not only provide relief on the Physical Illnesses but also in mental, emotional and soul illness as what we specialize that is why our school is called Hilot Academy of Binabaylan.
response of Apu Adman Aghama

The reason why he ask us because he want to set up a Spa as his business. Though I refer him to look for TESDA school that offers Massage Training so as inform him about the Policy of Philippine Department of Health towards the Practice of Massage in the Philippines. I also encourage him to set up a Hilot Center instead of a Spa. Just like in the practice of Hilot and Massage, there is a big difference between the two modalities of healing. But, in fact, massage is just one modality that is performed in Hilot. And for a wider view, Hilot is about caring and its practitioners are move to heal with compassion and not through compensation.

In order to provide a Hilot Treatment, a person must undergo a thorough Hilot Diagnostic Procedures. It means people who will have Hilot Treatment will not just come to have a Hilot and be relaxed just like in Spa, the Therapist will just provide what their customer want according to their menu. But in Hilot, we the provider will determine what is the right treatment the patient will receive upon determination of the Hilot Diagnostic Results.

This is why at Hilot Academy of Binabaylan, we are upgrading our curriculum so that we can move forward in professionalizing our Practice as Philippine Traditional Indigenous Medicine Practitioner. We are envisioning our Manghihilot in the future, just like the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner are called as a Doctor, so as the Ayurveda, Naturopath, Homeopath, Chiropractor and many others are called as Doctor, we too as Manghihilot will achieve the Recognition as Doctor of Philippine Traditional Indigenous Medicine.

But why Philippine Traditional Indigenous Medicine and not just Philippine Traditional Medicine?

We need to be precise on what we want to call our selves because as of this moment 2024 the Philippine Government has an Agency known as Philippine Institute of Traditional Alternative Medicine or most popularly known as PITAHC. And we could understand it that the Agency under Philippine Department of Health should promote Philippine Traditional Medicine (as we know before as Hilot), but what they are promoting instead of Hilot are other foreign Traditional Medicine that is present in the Philippines such as Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Homeopathy and Naturopathy. You can see it clearly in their social media account on which Traditional Medicine Practices they are promoting. Such as what they have posted in their facebook page on December 11, 2023:

CALABARZON or Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon Provinces Center for Health Development conducted Advance Acupuncture Training on selected Local Government Unit and Rural Health Unit personnel. And there is another one in Davao.

What we see in their actions is that they promote what they know well and work well with the one that could serve them well. But what is really happening now, Philippine Traditional Medicine which is Hilot has been set aside but instead focuses on foreign Traditional Medicine which they can market and give them earn a lot. So, we deemed Hilot to be our Philippine Traditional Indigenous Medicine which according to their Intro as:
