Restoring and Reviving Philippine Indigenous Spiritual Wisdom
We are a non-profit organization committed to cultivating, preserving, and living the wisdom of Philippine Indigenous spiritual traditions.
Our Beliefs
In Templong Anituhan, we restore this original wisdom by recognizing a sacred order of existence. At the center of all is the Divine Creator, whom we honor as Bathala and as our Divine Parents—the source of life, spirit, and consciousness. From this Divine Source flows all creation, and through it, every being carries a sacred and divine lineage.
We understand the Anito as guides and intermediaries who connect humanity to the unseen realms. Alongside them are the Diwata, radiant divine intelligences who govern aspects of nature, the cosmos, and human life. The Engkanto dwell within the natural world, reminding us that spirit and matter are inseparable. Together, they form a living spiritual ecosystem through which the Divine is experienced and honored.
Our spiritual worldview is grounded in the understanding of the Siyam na Dambana ng Paglalakbay—the Nine Realms in which a Binabaylan walks:
Kaitaasan, Kailaliman, Kaibabawan, Lupa, Hangin, Apoy, Tubig, Anito, at Diwata.
These realms represent the fullness of existence—from the highest spiritual light to the deepest transformative darkness, and the elemental forces that sustain life. A Binabaylan learns to move in harmony across these realms, maintaining balance, healing, and right relationship with all beings.
At the heart of our path is the Binabaylan philosophy—a way of living that honors the interconnectedness of body, mind, spirit, community, ancestors, and the natural world. Through healing practices such as Hilot, sacred rituals, and disciplined spiritual development, we seek to restore balance (ginhawa), awaken consciousness (diwa), and embody the sacred in everyday life.
Templong Anituhan is not only a remembrance of the past—it is a living tradition. We are committed to cultivating, preserving, and evolving Philippine Indigenous Spirituality as a path of healing, wisdom, and transformation for present and future generations..
A living path of Indigenous Filipino spirituality rooted in Divine Source, guided by the Anito and Diwata, and walked through the sacred journey of the Binabaylan across the Nine Realms.
Our Commitment to Sacred Service
Social Responsibility • Community Care • Ancestral Healing
As Binabaylan, we carry the responsibility of bridging the seen and unseen, bringing ancestral wisdom into the present through healing, teaching, and service to the community.
Walk the path of the Binabaylan—guided by the wisdom of the Ancestors and the Diwata.
WALKING THE PATH OF THE BINABAYLAN
Templong Anituhan does not offer membership in the conventional sense. Instead, we guide individuals through a sacred process of remembering reconnecting with their Indigenous ancestral lineage and awakening their place within the living tradition. This path is open to all who feel the calling to honor their roots and walk the way of the Binabaylan.
A return to your ancestral path and sacred lineage.

Pangutanahan: Why the Living Seek Communication with the Dead
By Rev. Rolando Gomez Comon (Apu Adman) Listening Beyond the Veil: The Healing Purpose of Pangutanahan On many occasions in my work as a Binabaylan, I have encountered people carrying a burden that medicine cannot cure, wealth cannot remove, and time alone cannot always heal. It is the burden of unfinished relationships with those who…
