     Gat Puno Abon “Garimot” Baet is the latest member to embrace his family art of Hilot. He has also categorically organized and promoted the system outside his family by means of public demonstration and treatments. He began serious training in Hilot at age of 9 under his strict tutelage of his Grandmother Elisea “Eli” Baet, then he also studied under his Grandfather Jose “Uti” Baet, his Father Grandmaster Felipe “Garimot” Baet. He eventually trained under the grat Hilot of Lumban, Laguna Grandmaster Juan Ladian and Grandmaster Andoy Cacaos. He even sought other Hilot in the Mauban, Rizal, Batanggas province to absorb more knowledge. Today Gat Puno Abon is a known Filipino Hilot through out the Filipino Community in Florida. He has even demonstrated his skill in numerous Seminars in Chicago, NY, California, Texas, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Venezuela. He also established the “Hilot Research Center USA” based in Florida for the the study of Hilot and related medicines and History.
