TOUCH THE WORLD WITH HILOT

When we start Hilot Academy of Binabaylan on 2016, I know from that time that our Hilot will be different from what the people know about it and even on how the Philippine Government promote it to the Public. I would say that our Hilot reflects the vision of my Teacher, Dr. Rueben M. Galang Jr., MD who is the founder of the School of Alternative Medicine at St. Francis Divine College in Novaliches, Queson City that he says:

The power of Health to the hands of the People and one manghihilot in every Filipino Home.

In the Philippines, we have approximately 116.79 million as our total population this 2025 and if the average household compose of 4 to 5 persons, then we will have approximately 28.5 million families. And aside from the Philippines Filipino can also be found in the United States of America, which according to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are approximately 4.45 Million Filipinos living in USA especially in:

California that has 1,705,090 Filipinos

Though this map only shows the number of Filipino that can be found in the United States of America, this will also serve as our road map in reaching out to our Kababayan in remembering our Indigenous Healing Arts and Science. Mostly Filipinos in United States of America are immigrants and either 2nd to 3rd Generation Filipino American.

Next to the United States of America, there are also large Filipino Community that can be found in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia mostly Overseas Filipino Worker that works in Construction Firm, Health Care and House Hold Services.

We are now Part of Wellness Tourism Association of the Philippines

Greetings Mga Kalahi and KaHabi!

Happy New Year to all!

Year 2024 has been a Great and Amazing Year for us here at Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. as well as at Hilot Academy of Binabaylan as we have produced 34 new Ordained Hilot Binabaylan that will administer our Indigenous Traditional Medicine in their country of residence. Along side with that we have also administered Hilot all year through to our Neighboring community in Brgy. Francisco Homes Narra that some came from different barangay and cities.

On 2024 we also have help to create a Curriculum Standards for an Organization Filipino Bone Setter that we pray they could be approved either by TESDA or Philippine Institute of Traditional Alternative Health Care.

And as we move along to our Journey in 2024, we have been an official Member of Wellness Tourism Association of the Philippines or WeTap since November 18, 2024 and just today as of writing this, I also send my message for WeTap as I read:

A Happy New Year to everyone.

I am Apu Adman Aghama or Rev. Rolando Gomez Comon, the Chief Binabaylan of Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. located in the City of San Jose Del Monte, Province of Bulacan and serving the community of Brgy. Francisco Homes Narra and neighboring Barangays.

First of all, I am happy that your humble servant has been given the opportunity to be one with the Purpose of the Wellness Tourism Association of the Philippines Inc. for which I am also very grateful to Ms. Cathy Turvil, Sir Atho Dela Cruz and Sir Ryan Kenneth Escubido.

To be honest, when I was invited to the WeTap Viber group, I was shy and embarrassed because the people in the group were big names in the Wellness Tourism Industry. I thought that I was not suitable to be part of this organization. So I examined myself to see if I was worthy of being part of WeTap. I studied whether the Purpose of WeTap is suitable for my Goals to introduce Hilot to the whole World.

So now, I remain in the Association and want to share with you my deep gratitude for the year 2024 and my visions that I should walk with you for the year 2025.

My work in Filipino Traditional Medicine began at the beginning of the New Century and this was in the year 2000. I had formal studies at St. Francis Divine College and had a Diploma on Alternative Medicine. And in 2008 I became an Accredited Trainer and Assessor of Hilot Wellness and Massage Therapy NC2. During those same times, we established the Philippine Certified Wellness Therapist Association with Ms. Grace Sanico, my former boss, in 2009. Meanwhile, from 2010 to 2012, I was a member of the Philippine Wellness and Spa Association where I first met Ms. Cathy Turvil. I was also the Training Director of the Philippine Japan Hilot Association from 2011 to 2013 until 2016 when I founded the Hilot Academy of Binabaylan as the Educational Ministry of Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc.

The Hilot Academy of Binabaylan is a small school without a roof. The students in our school are our compatriots who were born abroad who want to know and learn again the indigenous healing methods of our Ancestors. From 2016 to 2024 we have 81 graduates of training and are serving as Hilot Binabaylan in their respective Countries of Residence and these are the following Countries: United States of America, Canada, Chile, London, Italy, France, Austria, Spain, Japan and Australia.

When we started the Hilot Academy, it seemed that our school served as a bridge and a window of history that our school became a living Museum that they not only saw and knew but also experienced through the implementation of the wisdom of our Ancestors in medicine.

It is true that the Purpose of every treatment we perform is to have Wellness. And this comfort is for everyone, not only for the wealthy but also for the Hikahos and the Poor. This is also the work of Luntiang Aghama, we extend health care to those who cannot afford to receive treatment through modern methods and also serve as a bridge to introduce modern medicine to people who are too poor to go to our Barangay Health Centers.

In the year 2024, in the month of February, I met with Nawa Wellness of Calatagan, Batanggas to consult with your servant on how to align their Wellness Services with Indigenous methods. At first, I rejected his approach and insisted that my services were only for the poor. But after praying about the situation, I realized that comfort is for everyone. This means that it is not only for the poor but it can also be experienced by the rich. Thus, the relationship between Hilot Academy and Nawa Wellness was formed. Although Nawa Wellness has its own method of restoring Ginhawa, we still share the method of Pasubay or Diagnostic methods where they can better identify the needs of their guests who will stay at their resting place.

I also see the efforts of our friend Sir Atho Dela Cruz who has set out to develop Hilot knowledge by creating modern methods of treatment based on the indigenous practices of our ancestors, so I greatly admire him in these matters.

And in response, we will try to build a bridge from indigenous methods to modern treatment through integration. In the year 2025, I will strive as a Hilot educator to create a Curriculum that will integrate Hilot into the National Health Care Delivery System where our manghihilot will be considered Professional and not just as a Blue Collar Job. I envision that our Manghihilot can have a Doctor Title like Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Homeopaths, and Naturopaths. This will only happen if we level it according to the standards of the Philippine Qualification F ramework of TESDA, DepEd, CHED, PRC and DOLE which is the National Coordinating Council which is according to the Law implementing Rules and Regulation of Republic Act 8423 or Philippine Traditional Alternative Medicine Act of 1997 which states that:

The Institute in close coordination with Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) and others shall formulate guidelines, rules and regulations for the development of learning/training materials for short courses as well as for graduate and post-graduate courses. It shall develop Human Resource Development (HRD) Programs for medical and nonmedical professionals with appropriate public and private institutions particularly, Academic Centers of Excellence.

Currently, only short courses are given National Certification by TESDA and PITAHC and there is no Graduate and Post Graduate Course yet in the study and practice of Hilot. Although, your servant helped to have a Diploma Course of Filipino Indigenous Medicine or Hilot Therapy in London through ThinkTreeHub; it is still better that the study of Hilot originates in our Country. This is also the thinking of my former students why they traveled from the west back here to our beloved motherland. As is our Prayer to our Ancestors, that they call upon each one they have chosen to promote and continue the wisdom and introduce indigenous Filipino medicine to the country and town where they are and bring honor to our beloved country of the Philippines.- End of my Message for WeTap

And as part of our continues effort in promoting Filipino Indigenous Traditional Medicine which is Hilot, I have dismissed our 2025 Hilot Binabaylan Curriculum that will last for 16 days for non-medical/healthcare practitioners and 9 days for Health Care Professionals. And we have resolved that the Administration of Hilot Academy of Binabaylan will now be under Bahay SiAdTala Binabaylan Inc. which serves our Training Venue Host since 2023.All Changes and updates regarding policy of Hilot Binabaylan Training are now subject to the Administration of Bahay SiAdTala Binabaylan Inc. that includes the Certification of Students. Though in terms of Ordination, instead of Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. it will now go to the Templong Anituhan Inc. which is an upgrade of Luntiang Aghama in the fulfillment of our promise to the Ancestors in Reviving the Philippine Indigenous Spiritual beliefs and practices that includes Hilot Binabaylan.

Regarding our Training Program in Hilot Binabaylan, we are still on process of making a proposal to maintain the 9 days training but will add days for internship which will enable our students to apply in real situation what they have learned during the 9 days. At the same time, this will also provide them experience and compliance to PITAHC Policy, which they will still be supervised by Certified Hilot Binabaylan Mentor or Tanglaw.

Our vision to our Hilot Binabaylan is that their knowledge, skills, abilities and attitude may be integrated into the National Health Care Delivery System that will not only end up working at Spa Centers but also may have an employment opportunities at Government Health Units such as in Barangay Health Centers, Municipal/City Health Units, Provincial and Regional Health Units, Government Hospitals and even Private Hospitals and Clinics.

We are looking forward that we could create a means that our practitioners may claim Liability insurances from any Health Insurance company and that our Manghihilot may also have the benefits that other workers obtain from the Government such as Social Security and personal Health Insurance. Having these benefits that our Manghihilot will receive, our Children and grand children will have a desire to become a Manghihilot in the Future. For this to happen, we need to rise now the Standards in the Practice of Hilot through Training. This is why we are considering including the study of Human Anatomy and Patho- Physiology, Fundamentals of Health Care, Developmental Psychology, Phyto Pharmacology and other related subjects in the study and training of Hilot.

We also envision to widen the Job opportunities of our Hilot Binabaylan graduates that will not only limit them to work in a Spa Industry and by establishing their own Hilot Treatment/ Healing Centers but also to be employed in Government Health Care Facilities.

Our Hilot Binabaylan can also be employed as a Researcher that can be part of Barangay Health Center in knowing the health status of the constituents of the specific barangay. Aside from knowing the Health Care Needs of specific families in the Barangay, our Manghihilot can also make documentation of every plant, herbs and trees that grows endemically in the specific barangay they are serving. Upon documentation, they will coordinate to PITAHC and submit what they have documented so that they could conduct intensive study in determining the medicinal properties of the plant/herbs/trees.

When the medicinal properties are properly determined, the Manghihilot now can cultivate the plants and may manufacture it as tea, oil, ointment and other herbal products which then can be given freely to their constituents or sell it in a lower cost which is affordable and cost effective.

We also envision that our Manghihilot should be the expert in terms of Herbal Medicine and other herb related food supplements.

These visions that we have on the practice of Manghihilot has been declared and keep it our Altar that through the Grace of the Divine and the Ancestors it may manifest in time.

November as Philippine Traditional Health Care Month

Imagine how do we live now if our Ancestors did not know how to care for themselves. Our History as Filipino People does not start from the coming of Spain in our Archipelago. When Ferdinand Magellan arrives, he was welcomed by Rajah Humabon on March 21, 1521. This only signifies that prior to the coming of Spain in our Archipelago, human beings (which is part of our ancestry) already existed in our land. So, imagine at that time, how do the Spanish Colonizer found our Ancestors, how do they look like? and how do they live before they came? Actually, they already have their Civilizations. People know how to wear clothes, they have jewelries and other accessories, they eat and drink. They also have mode of transportation and so as politics and government system. That is why we all know that there is also Lapu Lapu who killed Magellan. But that is different story to tell. What I want to point out here that our ancestors are already Civilized.

Though we may connect the lineage of Rajah Humabon to the 10 Bornean datu who fled and find refuge to our country during the 13th century. But even though these Bornean datu take refuge to our land, they are also welcomed by native inhabitant of our Archipelago which is an Aeta Chieftain named Datu Marikudo. And historically it is known that the Negrito Groups are the first inhabitants of our Archipelago which is now known as the Philippines which can be dated back 47,000 years ago.

And according to archeologist, the first human existed in our Archipelago besides from the Negrito group are the ones that can be found in Callao Cave in Cagayan. Their existence gives us idea on how they live 67,000 years ago. Of course, we do not look like them now, but their wisdom on survival still exists as of this day. And Hilot Academy of Binabaylan, credit our Hilot Healing Modality to them. As the way of Hilot is how to maintain life within our physical body and to keep us safe. Our Work as Manghihilot is not just to heal illnesses and ailments, but also to protect our Physical, Emotional, Mental, Social and Spiritual Body from harm.

And through this, aside from the Historical Evidence of our Ancestral Healing Arts and Science, the month of November has been declared as Traditional and Alternative Health Care Month by the virtue of Republic Act 8423 or the Philippine Traditional Alternative Medicine Act of 1997. and through this, Hilot Academy of Binabaylan will provide a month- long Free Webinar on the Fundamentals of Hilot Practice that will happen on the following dates and the topics to be discussed:

November 2, 2024 – Definition, History, Philosophies and Principles of Hlot
November 9, 2024- Hilot concept of Life, Health, Illness & Wellness
November 16, 2024- Faculties and Aspect of Man
November 23, 2024- Traditional Health Care Delivery and Hilot Treatment Methodologies
November 30, 2024- Laws, Policies, Standards and regulations on the Practice of Hilot & Hilot Code of Ethics

To those who are interested to attend, kindly fill out the form through the link below. We are going to issue Certificate of Attendance to those who will attend the online class which can be credited to our Alignment Program on becoming a Hilot Binabaylan.

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:

One Herb with many cure

FB_IMG_1562853588606 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.

Well in this article what i am going to share to you the Benefit of Herbs such as the Avocado leaves. In our Hilot Herbal Healing Class we have taught that using single herbs can cure many illness compared to synthetic drug that only cure one condition. That is the reason why medical doctors prescribed a lot of drugs to deal on different condition.

Here let us see how a Single herb such as the Avocado can help an individual in maintaining our health.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF AVOCADO LEAVES

avocado-leaves-original Avocado is a Fruit Tree that originates in South-Central Mexico between 7,000 to 5,000 BC.

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.
