In the province of Antique, hilot remains a deeply rooted healing tradition practiced by elders who serve their communities through herbal medicine, massage, and faith.
This episode follows Tatay Juanito Amar, a healer who has practiced for more than 70 years. According to him, his gift first came through a dream when he was only seven years old. Since then, he has continued to treat people from his community and beyond, using traditional methods passed through family knowledge and spiritual guidance.
