MANILA - Every Holy Week, the local government of the province of Siquijor holds a "Healing Festival" at the highest peak of the island, the Bandilaan Mountain View Park.
There, the mananambal --the local term for the healers of Siquijor-- gather, prepare, and brew their medicinal potions indigenous to the island.
The festival, which also provides stalls for healers and herbalists where patients and tourists can consult them, has been an annual event since 2009.
