No Home Service policy
In our effort to professionalize Hilot and Massage in the Philippines, Hilot Academy of Binabaylan through Masa Hilot Center implement the “No home service and walk in policy” to our center and only accomodate client/patient that makes reservation of appointments a week or day before the scheduled treatment session.
This policy will encourage client/patient to be more responsible in taking care of their health by having an appoinment schedule of their hilot treatment.
Hilot as we promote in our Academy is the Traditional and Native Medicine to our land and each client/patient must give outmost value to the treatment modality provided by our Manghihilot.
As Hilot we impart discipline to our patient by encouraging them to give outmost importance to their own health. Like in any other health care profession, people must see manghihilot as a Professional Health Care Provider.
Fusing of Hilot and Yoga
Two days ago i recieved an email from a Yoga Guru that express her interest with Hilot as the traditional medicine of the Philippines.
March 15 is our first day of fusion. I started introducing Hilot by sharing the philosophies and principles of hilot as well as the concept of health, illness and wellness. I emphasize the concept of man and what is man made of.
After sharing it, i started the skills transfer by asking lakay alsent to demonstrate the traditional method of scanning illness which is Tawas.
JD our fellow healer already have background with Hilot as traditional massage but is interested in learning the Hilot Diagnostic Procedure which is Tawas.
After experiencing the procedure, she her self perform the tawas ritual to Mommy Rose.
Tomorrow, JD will experience Kilubansa Healing which consist of Pagpag Cleansing Ritual and Patong Dampi Ritual plus a review on the Hilot 5 elemental touch strokes.
Why do hilot Burp?
Remember as a Healer we heal and not absorber of negativity. The reason why some healers occationaly burb and worst is fart during the healing seasion is because the healer themselves are being healed during the session.
Healing is like filling the empty bucket with clean pure water until it reaches to the brim.
Energy is not created nor can be destroyed, but it can change form.
As a healer, we have the ability to transform negative (potential) energy into positve (active/kinetic) energy.
We can transform Hate into Love and fear into Peace.
Hilot is not Swedish Massage
Last night, i had a conversation with a Massage Enthusiast over Facebook Messenger. In our conversation she have mentioned that at last she have found the Filipino Version of Swedish Massage through Hilot. She have said that because she saw in one of our video posted at Hilot Academy FB Page that we mention Hilot Haplos as equivalent to Effluerage of Swedish Massage.
Indeed we have mention it to our video that Hilot Haplos is equivalent to Effluerage of Swedish Massage, but it does not mean that Hilot is only limited to Massage. I have told our friend the difference of learning through online videos to live discussion. Because Learning through Videos are limited only to the task performed than on live in person learning we explain thoroughly the principles behind the techniques that been demonstrated. It is also important to learn the whole concept first before jumping into conclusion that Hilot is the Filipino version of Swedish Massage which i will insist that it is not.
If we are going to talk about Massage in Filipino, Massage is not called Hilot but it was called as Masahe; and Masahe is only one of the many Healing Modality of Hilot.
To justify the thinking of Hilot as a form of Massage, the practitioner must recognise the difference of the Hilot Masahe strokes to the 5 manipulative strokes of Swedish Massage.
Swedish Massage has 5 Manipulative strokes so as Hilot Masahe.
| SWEDISH MASSAGE STROKES | HILOT MASAHE STROKES | COMPARISON |
| EFFLUERAGE | HAPLOS | EFFLUERAGE |
| PETRISAGE | HAGOD | EFFLUERAGE/ FRICTION |
| FRICTION | PINDOT | FRICTION |
| TAPOTEMENT | PISIL | PETRISAGE |
| VIBRATION | PIGA | PETRISAGE |
So in this case, Hilot Masahe is only using 3 Manipulative Strokes from Swedish Massage which are the Effluerage, Petrissage and Friction.
To know more about the difference of Hilot Masahe and Swedish Massage, it is advice that take a short course on this subject. For inquiry and schedule of class, kindly call or text Apu Adman Aghama at +639952467040
Mark of Bentusa
Bentusa employs reverse pressure when we apply it to the skin. It creates vacum pressure that lifts the skin like in doing pisil manipulation.
In hilot masahe, pisil make space so that healthy blood can circulate well but the poor unhealthy blood will be caught up by the reverse pressure thus making mark on the skin.
This marks shows the unhealthy blood into the skin by dark red, violet to black mark. These marks are the poisnous blood that could be expelled out by applying hagod pressure.
My Passion for Hilot
One important role of hilot in the society is not limited in restoring the life force within the human body but also to maintain it in harmony and balance to all creations.
As hilot, sharing our knowledge and expertise to the world through teaching is a means of preserving the ancient healing arts and science of the Philippines.
By transfering our knowledge to a dedicated student, we can maintain the tradition alive in our home land.
MasaHilot of Kaduwa

The first technique that been shared is also a form of diagnostic method whereas the practitioner analyze the elements within the name of the patient and determine its energetic balance. Then pulse diagnosis was also shared as one of the important diagnostic tool in determining the cause of illness. After wards we have perform and demonstrated dry hilot sequence or chair back massage.
