The Manugkibit or Hilot sa Balikid is a traditional healing practice found in Barotac Viejo, Iloilo, known for reflexology techniques used to identify and treat body ailments. Healers learn through observation and hands-on learning. The method involves reading hand pulses to locate imbalances or pain points in the body for massage treatment. Hilot holds historical, cultural, and socioeconomic significance, especially for rural communities without access to modern healthcare. However, the practice is declining as younger generations favor modern medical treatments and few practitioners remain, most of whom are elderly.
