I apologize to all my friends who ask me to join or subscribe to their company who sells self care or home care products such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, feminine wash, oils, lotions, ointments, etc.
I appreciate your concern but i apologize for refusing your offer.
I am HILOT.
And for everyone Information, like i always tell here that HILOT IS NOT A MASSAGE.
As Manghihilot we also make our own self care products.
This is the reason why i teach Hilot so that i may share to the world the techniques on how not to be enslaved by commercialism and capitalism.
I understand that all of us wants to earn money. It is not bad because all of us are enslaved of it already so we really need to make money.
In making money we need to work; and in working we need strength; in having strength we need to be healthy. And on being Healthy we also have a choice.
Introducing Hilot gives the people of the world to choose the type of healthcare procedures they want to apply into their lives.
They may choose to use synthetic products of the conventional medicine or they may choose Traditional Medicine.
On the part of Traditional Medicine, it is still wide for there are many choices also such as what the Philippine Institute of Traditional Alternative Health Care is promoting which is the Traditional and Complementary Medicine that is usually Chinese Oriental Medicine.
The problem with our Society specially with the said institute, they have forgotten to promote our very own HILOT WHICH IS OUR TRADITIONAL INDIGENOUS AND NATURAL MEDICINE.
And on this Case as Manghihilot, i will live to promote it and apply it in to my life. I will do this until the time that our own Government will recognize it and give importance to it. And so as i plead also to all my friends to support and use our very own Medicine which is Hilot.
Last year i ask my Former boss in Tesda why the Training Standard and Regulation of Hilot Wellness Massage cant be change, she just said that it could not be undone. So that means, until that regulation will not be re written it will continue to be implemented until the original and authentic Hilot will be lost and people around the world will think that what they are implementing is right.
Well if that is so, Hilot will just remain as Massage and the medicine and application of Herbs, Heat, Light, Time and Water will be ignored and forgotten by the future so called manghihilot.
Colonization brought new form of medicine to our People, but as they bring new Medicine- the colonizer also bring new diseases into our land. When the colonizers settled into our Land they formed their own government over ruling the native people and had control of our land. As time pass by, they do not only own the land but also control people lives by implementing laws that will serve their interest up to present time.
As we grow old we experience a lot of discomfort in our Body and due to this discomfort we often see our Doctor to be prescribed with different medicine for our condition. I remember my Nanay when she was still alive that she endures to take 12 or more medicine every day for her condition 3 times a day. During that time she takes medicine for her brain, for her blood, for her heart, liver, kidney, bones, and probably towards her all entire body organ system. And every time she takes that medicine, she looks like she is suffering specially that for almost a week already that she does not poo while every day she takes in food and medicine. So what i did is that i Go to Mother Nature for an Alternative Cure that help her. And at that time i learned how to make herbal tablet from our Plant Medicine.
At first my mother joke me that it looks like a Goat’s poo and indeed it looked like one but it’s content is so much powerful because i blend it with not only one herbs but with all other herbs that is necessary towards Nanay’s condition. In her case i use Mulberry leaves, Malunggay, Serpentina, Ginger and Avocado. It help her up to her last day. She does not suffer in pain like before. She eats and poo regularly. She sleeps well and her blood pressure is down from 210/140 to 140/90 mmHg. Though her Doctor want her blood to still go down from 140/90 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg but when she takes blood pressure lowering drug, i was alarmed because she slept for about 24 hours. And from that time i use my medicine and lower the dosage of the Drug that the doctor prescribed for my mother.
Avocado is a Fruit Tree that originates in South-Central Mexico between 7,000 to 5,000 BC. It bears the scientific name Persea Americana and it look like a pear that has green to purple red color instead of yellow-white fruit. Avocado was introduced to the Philippines on 1890 by our Spanish Colonizer when they bring seeds of Avocado in our country from Mexico. Here in the Philippine we consider Avocado as a Fruit, but in US it is a vegetable.
Compared to having a regular western spa massage where you can fall asleep during the session, in Hilot you are forbidden not to fall asleep. I wonder why in Hilot you are not allowed to fall asleep while in regular massage you can?
I got a nice conversation with 
To a manghihilot, we know everything that is happening in this world has an Explanation but some explanation are unacceptable to the degree holders and the educated that is why they are rejecting patients who are suffering from the mystical illness. But in fact, people who suffer from this mystical illness already have their own cure and this is where the Hilot Orasyon will take place.
Hilot believe that one cause of illness of man is due to one or many of our soul wonder away while we are sleeping; or sometimes when we encounter traumatic experience such as in a fight or argument, one of our soul moves away thus we have the illness called “Usog” which literally means move. When this happen, the Family of the Patient will come to a manghihilot to perform tawas diagnostic and the Pauli ritual. Pauli or Uwi ritual aims to call back the wondering soul back to its physical body. In doing this ritual, the Manghihilot will call to the wondering soul of the patient and communicate with it and comfort the soul and make it secured that it will not leave its physical body. As the soul agree to come back, the manghihilot will perfom pagpag to tap away some negative and dirty energy that the soul have accumulated or gathered as it wonders away and afterwards will do the padampi ritual.
Wrong Answer!
Many people think that Hilot is an individual approach of healing the body and yes it is but it is not only the Physical Body we do heal. As Hilot Binabaylan we have also the responsibility to heal our society by engaging with them as a Community. This is our work as Hilot Binabaylan, we are bridging the Gap from old to new, and fill up again what is missing in people lives as they have forgotten who they are due to the Colonial exploitation we experience either in the past or present. As Hilot Binabaylan we don’t see people in their gender identity but we see them as a Soul that has the sacred spark of the Divine.
Throughout the time, Colonization have brought up poison to the identity of the Filipino people that most of us have already forgotten who we are. Last year we were able to rise up and have communicated to the people about how our Filipino Ancestors give a high regards to the LGBT people in the past by participating the Metro Manila Pride March and deliver a solidarity message of Peace. And this year we will rise again to give healing again to the LGBT people in the Philippines.
