Morning Session

SAN ROQUE CHURCH (Banban, Siquijor, Siquijor)

Señor San Roque is known worldwide as the patron saint for the sick and it is blessing from the Almighty that a church in his honor was established about a century ago for the people of Siquijor to take refuge in times of sickness and troubles. This small coral stone church is a solemn place to meditate and pray to the Father Almighty and to ask the intercession of Señor San Roque in our quest for healing.

BOLO - BOLO

Bolo-bolo Healing is a unique healing practice believed to be endemic of Siquijor. The Healer uses a glass of water with a rare stone immersed and a “bagacay“ or bamboo straw which is blown around a sick person to gather bad vibes and evil spell making a person weak and disturbed. The stone will gather your bad vibes into the water, the dirty water will be poured out and replaced with clean water until all your bad vibes are removed.

BALAY PAHAULI (Cantabon, Siquijor, Siquijor)
