Herbal medicine tradition from the Manobo Tribe

Vicente Bandojo claims that in his 52 years, he has never been hospitalized to a hospital or seen a doctor for any sickness. Datu (chieftain) Palagsulat is Bandojo's ethnic Manobo tribal name. The Manobo, whose name means "people of the river," dwell in the Philippines' Agusan del Sur province and other portions of Mindanao's southern region.The Manobos have been able to retain their cultural identity, which is strongly anchored in nature, despite being pushed to the outskirts by the advent of outsiders and immigrants from other parts of the Philippines years ago.
