The therapist and psychic surgeon who works at Baguio is Placido Palitayan. He is a very confident and skilled psychic surgeon. Being able to see, interview, make videos and work with him is once again a privilege. I had a full interview with Placido's video, which was transcribed after Placido's treatment sessions for three people, including me:
Howard: Can you tell me more about the treatment and psychological surgery you just recorded?
Placido: I am not a doctor, so it is difficult to provide a medical description or explanation. In the healing process, when I am healed, I will heal with my whole heart, heart, heart and soul, and ask God to help you.
The mystery here is power, energy, or what we call God. Our bodies are complex and often have emotional problems. Everyone has it; no one is perfect in terms of health. But our thoughts [he points upwards] for him are creating miracles that are rigid in our lives.
Howard: When you saw that you started treatment, you said your prayers and your meditation, this external force entered you, and then you began to open on the human body. What do you think of this?
Placido: Yes, that's it. I am being treated, I am not thinking about myself, nor thinking about anything. I am just a service, so the power will pass through me, the patients only need to relax, open their minds, and don't consider any problems so that the divine energy runs through the entire body system.
Howard: I understand. This is consistent with what I heard from other psychologists.
Placido: This is the way to heal.
Howard: I feel very relaxed and feel very open. Now I feel much better and more clear.
Placido: I know.
Howard: I want to ask you some questions. As we discussed, I brought a group of Westerners to the Philippines, who wanted to know more about the therapists, their backgrounds, and so on. So can you tell me how you started treatment?
Placido: I think this is a sacred plan and beyond my knowledge. When I broke my finger, I was still small. This is after I went to school, I was with my friends. Because at dusk, I had to leave my friend because I couldn't see the way home in the dark. My past place was downhill. I ran home when it was dark. I fell, fell, and put my finger on a big rock. My finger moves completely backwards [he demonstrated this]. In my opinion, because I am very young, only nine years old, I thought I had destroyed my hand. I only have one thing to do, and that is prayer. This is not something I learned in church, nor something that others taught me. My soul prays deeply, a very short prayer, I can't remember what I am saying now, but it comes from my soul. Suddenly after I prayed, I licked my hand and looked at it. It was completely restored.
I am going home, I can't, I can't talk, I am very surprised by what happened. I don't think God did it. The next day, when I was at school, the teacher asked, "Placido, would you answer this question?" I can hear her, but I can't speak. I may be what they call the embarrassing state. Oh, no one knows where it comes from. The teacher approached me and slowly waved a few inches from my face. I know she did this, but I still didn't respond. Only when she met me, I could reply "Yes Mom ' m", only to know.
Since then, I can no longer go to school because they said that I am crazy! So after that I went into the mountains alone. No one in the mountains, only sugar cane. So all I did was drink sugar cane, just thinking about it. I know that I must be crazy; I said to myself: "What am I doing here, I only eat sugar cane." I can't even urinate because I drank too much sugar from sugar cane. So I know that I have to drink alcohol or it will destroy my health. This is the beginning of what they now call "mental awareness." So after that, when I saw people, I was able to tell if they were sick, sick or unhappy. I also found that I can talk to them by letting them relax or make them feel happy. They said to me, "You are not crazy because you know how to answer our questions." I said that I don't know how, but young, nothing can be lost. All I said was what I saw. They started to believe me.
When the missionaries came and talked about God, I felt attracted by their words and I became close to them. I asked if I could go with them. When they visited other communities, I would touch them and they would get better. I realize that the Bible's claim to healing is happening to me. Later, the missionaries began to scold me, just as I talked to people they liked me, and gathered around me instead of missionaries.
The missionaries don't want me to be with them. I am alone again. I feel like no one likes me. I have to work anywhere, just like in the Philippines you have to do this, you can eat. My work is very hard, digging, breaking rocks, working hard. It was a long story, but then there was the great psychic therapist Eleuterio Terete [he was the first psychic surgeon], then Tony Agpoa, Ricardo Gonzales, and they all wanted me to work with them. I said that I can't divide myself into three. Anyway, I decided to work with Gonzalez [he made a better offer!]. I am still very young and have not spoken English yet. In August 1958, I went to Australia with Gonzalez. After that I finished my education.
Howard: How old are you?
Placido: 65
Howard: Listening to your story, it's clear that your treatment has been developed for many years, and you are confident in your work. Have you started using magnetic & psychotherapy?
Placido: At the beginning of my studies with Gonzalez, I went to a tribal community of headhunters. One of the tumors was very large, and I began to manipulate [massage] the area, suddenly the body began, and the blood spurted out and flowed out. I don't know why or how this happens because I am just manipulating the body. Then I looked behind me and the chief raised his arm and held a big bone. He wanted to kill me. He must have thought that when the blood spurted, I stabbed the patient. The chief wants to cut my head [they are head hunters!], but the bones are broken in half and his arms can't move. Then he saw no blood and the wound had healed. The patient started to get up and laughed. The chief smiled and said, I should stay here and be with his family. I said, "No, thank you, I don't belong here, I belong to all who need my help."
Howard: At least you have made some good friends there. As they say, it is good to have a friendly relationship with the headhunter!
Placido: Yes, he wants to kill me, then he becomes my very close friend. Then I came to Baguio and I joined the therapist. I didn't do any psychological surgery because I thought it only happened to me once. At Baguio, I met Tony Agpoa, who worked with hundreds of people. He said: "Placido, I am tired, now it is 5 o'clock, I still have a lot of people to heal! I said I will help, after 30 minutes, I help all people with mental surgery. I make sure that every The individual is ready, and I did. "He was very surprised." How did you do it?" he asked. "All these people are in such a short time."
There are many stories to tell, but all I want is peace. I gave a spiritual suggestion, I don't talk about religion, because my religion is man-made, "he is." [pointing] his work is the most important to me. I need to train my son to do the job and help me.
Howard: Listen to what you have been saying. It seems that the most important thing is this feeling. As a little boy, you don't think about what happened, but you have a feeling. Ok, I really appreciate your time, thank you for sharing your story and adventure with us, thank you very much.
