The delivery of training should adhere to the design of the curriculum. Delivery should be
guided by the 10 basic principles of competency-based TVET.
The competency – based TVET system recognizes various types of delivery modes, both on
and off-the-job as long as the learning is driven by the competency standards specified by the industry.
The following training modalities may be adopted when designing training programs:
The dualized mode of training delivery is preferred and recommended. Thus programs would
contain both in-school and in – industry training or fieldwork components. Details can be
referred to the Dual Training System (DTS) Implementing Rules and Regulations.
Modular/self-paced learning is a competency-based training modality wherein the trainee is
allowed to progress at his own pace. The trainer facilitates the training delivery
Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality wherein fast learners are given the opportunity to
assist the slow learners
Supervised industry training or on-the-job training is an approach in training designed to enhance
the knowledge an skills of the trainee through actual experience in the workplace to acquire
specific competencies prescribed in the training regulations.
Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority of the instruction occurs when
the students and instructor are not in the same place. Distance learning may employ
correspondence study, or audio, video or computer technologies.
Project-Based Instruction is an authentic instructional model or strategy in which students plan,
implement and evaluate projects that have real world applicants.
Trainees or students wishing to gain entry into these qualifications should possess the following
requirements:
This list does not include specific institutional requirements such as educational attainment,
appropriate work experience, and others that may be required of the trainees by the school or
training center delivering this TVET program.
Recommended list of tools, equipment and materials for the training of 20 trainees for HILOT

Anatomy the science of the shape and structure of organisms and their parts.
Banana Leaf Method the banana leaf is utilized in hilot to assist in determining
where the energy block is. The leaf of the banana, the saba variety
is preferred over other species of bananas. The leaf is cut into
lengths of one foot to one and a half feet and width of two to three
inches. The banana leaf strips are then laced with coconut oil,
warmed over candle fire and run through the different body areas. If
the banana leaf strip stops at a particular body area or if the hilot
practitioner senses a tug of the banana leaf against the skin of the
patient, such body area is considered to have energy block. Massage
in then focused on these areas where the banana lead strip stops or
tugs.
Bentosa cupping of heated glasses applied on the body surface mainly for
cold and wind diseases.
Body Scrub a therapy for exfoliating the skin using applications applied with
a brush or loofah sponge.
Body Treatment any therapy applied to the body, including massages, wraps,
scrubs, masks and baths.
Body Wrap cocooning the body in warm sheets that usually have been steeped
in an herbal mixture; or wrapping the body in plastic, Mylar, or
woolen blankets after a body treatment such as a mud bath or mask.
Dasal, Bulong, Oracion prayers and chants asking for spiritual blessings and
guidance.
Essential Oils distilled and purified extracts of flowers, plants, grasses, fruit,
leaves, bark, herbs and seeds; said to have healing, oxygenating,
purifying and relaxing properties.
Exfoliation removal of dead cells from the skin’s surface, using a variety of
lotions, muds, oils and scrubs with a variety of tools (e.g. loofah
sponges and brushes).
Herbal Wrap a body treatment that uses linen sheets steeped in an herbal
preparation. The sheets are wrapped around the client like a cocoon
for detoxification, relaxation and increased circulation.
Hilot (Wellness) can use/apply massage, herbal treatments, oil and essences,
mineral treatments and water treatment.
Pulse Diagnosis the use of fingers to palpate the pulses that determine the
blockage in the body in relation to the signs and symptoms
manifestations based on the philosophical concepts of hilot.
Raw Egg Method a whole raw egg is run throughout the different body areas.
After which the egg is broken over a plate and the hilot is able to
diagnose the location of the energy blockage or where the excess
wind or cold permeates by the shape and character of the egg white
and the yolk. There have been no investigative studies to find out the
science behind the raw egg as a diagnostic tool for hot-cold
imbalances.
Use of Cellophane and Empty Bottles - cellophane sheets, two inches by four inches in size
and empty round bottles, six inches tall and four inches
diameter, to detect energy blockages in the body. In the
same manner as the banana leaf strips, the cellophane
sheets or empty bottles are run through body areas like the
back, upper and lower arm, chest and abdomen, upper and
lower legs.
Where ever the cellophane sheet gets stuck in a body area
or where the empty bottle stops are the areas that have
energy blockages or excess wind.
