I am hearing his name since 2017 and from that time I follow his wonderful works. He have been love by many Filipino Americans in the States and have connected with the World Indigenous Shamans from different culture and tradition. I feel unworthy to be in his presence but through a friend and by universal will, our realms have met and do a ritual together.
Isaac Newton have said: ” For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
World Health Organization have identified Coronaviruses as Large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) which they identify to be transmited to humans from Civet Cat and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS- Cov) which was transmited to humans from dromedary camels.
But this new strain which is known as the Novel Coronavirus which is popularly known as CoVid-19 has not been identify yet. They have known well that Coronaviruses are Zoonotic which means they are transmited between animals and people. If only the source has been known, then we all can be sure that there will be cure.
So for now, let us all be vigilant with regards to the symptoms of Covid 19. Check out for any Fever, Cough and Shortness of Breathe.
Practice proper etiquette in socializing as well as proper hygiene. Strengthen our body’s immunity with proper diet and exercise. Clean our environment and have faith in God.
Sooner or later we will find a cure as it has been said that: “For any action there is an equal or opposite reaction.”

Technically, this Learning Material upon successful completion will make you a Hilot Herbalist.
In Philippine Herbalism applied by Hilot, it is believed that the type of illness that is contracted in a particular area is somewhat dependent on the environmental conditions. The herbs that grow in that particular area take on the characteristics of their environment resulting in the production of certain adaptive plant chemicals that may strengthen the individual tolerance to that particular environment.
This only means that the herbs that grows naturally in our community can be used to treat to the illness that the people suffer in that particular areas. But now-a-days such as the Spread of CoVid 19 it becomes a world epidemic that brought fear to everyone.
To a Manghihilot, there is always cure to every illness. This is also true to medical doctors. But if we treat illness with fear, naturally the person who suffer from illness will die than survive.
If Covid 19 is a man made disease, then man can create cure to this. But if it is from Nature, then Nature had already provided cure to this disease so there is nothing to be afraid of.
We Filipino knows well the power of Numbers. In Politics, a political candidate win the election through the number of votes cast to his favor. The Higher the number of votes means the higher chance of winning. We know as Filipino how “Kuyog” does. It is a number of people who work together to outnumber their enemies and defeat it.
In the Philippines as of March 6, 2020 there are 2 admitted confirmed cases of CoVid-19 where as the current population of the Philippines is 109,119,273 according to WorldOMeter.
So why we are afraid of Covid 19? What is CoVid 19?
According to World Health Organization, Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
The Director General of World Health Organization have made a media briefing on March 5, 2020 which you can read on their website that you can found the link here. It is mentioned in the media briefing that Covid 19 is a serious disease. It is not deadly to most people, but it can kill.
Indeed that this virus can kill people, but on the early statement it has been mentioned that: “This epidemic can be pushed back…”
I am very hopeful that if all the People around the world which is almost 7,769,270,300 people alive will work together in love to fight the spread of Corona Virus (COVID 19), peace will be restored in our mind and stability will be regained in our heart.
Traditional Hilot accepts patient who comes to them regardless of their social standing, language, culture, tribe,color or nationality as long as they come to seek relief from their illness and suffering, the Manghihilot is always ready to share the healing powers of Hilot when invoked in time of needs. So as the Academy also accepts people of all colors around the world who want to learn either through curiosity or intention the Sacred Healing Arts and Science of our Ancestors which is Hilot.
It is not the first time that Hilot Academy welcome Spanish people to learn our Traditional Medicine. We have first Jose Miguel Zurita from Madrid, Spain; then Ita Montero of Santiago, Chile; and Now we have Noel Zamora and Laura Castillo who are both from Catalan, Spain.
We all know that for more than 300 years that Spain had colonized our country and had made humongous change to our people from our culture and tradition as well as to our religious beliefs, and now we have Spanish speaking people to learn what we have kept and preserved for a long time.
Amazingly as we recall our History, many of our famous revolutionary icons of that era sought refuge from Mother Spain while the Spaniards in the Philippines are doing abuses to the local Indio of that time. This made me think that it is not the Spain as a country who do abuse, but the people who are in power who make abuse. Such as Noel and Laura of Catalan, they shared to us that at this present moment the People of Catalan are seeking independence from Spain. Their reason is that the People of Catalan have their own Language, Culture as well as their own Spiritual belief.
Hilot is not political but it can be a liberating modality that could help you to have a sound mind and body. As it allows you obtain the right range of motion as well as the bio chemical composition in your body through the herbs that been employed during the Hilot treatment. Hilot does not discriminate anyone whether for treatment or learning. What we only require is for you to have an open mind and willing body to receive the healing effects of Hilot in your life.
Most likely if people work on memories, we only hear them through stories in the present time. But experiencing the moment of the past in the present days are different. It channels the past to be move in the present day to make the past alive. These process of making the past to be alive in the present are known as restoration such as an old model of car fixed so that it can be used today.
Hilot is the medicine of our ancestors which we advocate today in studies and treatment experience that people in the future will still experience the wonderful healing effects of this modality in Healing.
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.

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.
