It is a rare privilege to engage in a dialogue with a true pioneer—a person whose vision not only unearths ancient wisdom but also breathes new life into it for the modern world. Such is the profound work of Apu Adman Aghama, legally known as Rolando Gomez Comon, the Chief Priest of Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. and the primary architect of Kilubansa Nomenology.

Our recent conversation illuminated the depth of his contributions, revealing how a system rooted in Philippine indigenous spirituality is actively evolving, promising to be a beacon for future generations.

Kilubansa: Beyond a Deity, a Living System of Healing

Apu Adman first clarified the essence of Kilubansa—not just as the Diwata (God) of Healing and traditional medicine, but as a dynamic system. It embodies the balance of the four elements (Air, Fire, Water, Earth) within an individual, serving as a framework for understanding inner harmony and health.

It is in this context that Nomenology finds its most potent expression: a profound “science of names” that uses the ancient Baybayin script to analyze the elemental energy embedded within a person’s name. This reveals their innate talents, potential health needs, and their unique energetic blueprint.

The Human Pillars: A Lineage of Living Wisdom

Apu Adman, with characteristic humility, sought to understand if there were other primary developers of Nomenology. Our discussion revealed that while the concept of name-knowledge exists globally (in systems like Numerology or Gematria), Apu Adman’s work is uniquely Filipino and groundbreaking. He is the first to formalize a system that:

* Translates phonetic sounds into the four indigenous elements.
* Utilizes the Baybayin script as the energetic key.
* Directly connects these insights to Hilot (traditional Filipino healing) and spiritual well-being.

He didn’t just study names; he gave them “ginhawa” (breath/life).

Beyond Apu Adman as the Primary Mover, the Luntiang Aghama has a robust hierarchy ensuring the continuation of this wisdom:

* Lakay Magbaya Aghama (Alvin Lasquety Sentin): As Deputy Chief Priest, Spiritual Healing Director, and Punong Katalonan of Templong Anituhan Inc., Lakay Magbaya stands as the crucial Secondary Authority. He embodies the operational and spiritual governance of the tradition, ensuring the teachings are implemented ethically and effectively within the community.

* Ordained Priests and Priestesses (Binabaylan): These individuals, trained through the rigorous Hilot Academy of Binabaylan, represent the Tertiary Authority. They are the hands-on practitioners who interpret and apply Kilubansa Nomenology in their healing work and spiritual guidance.

* Practitioners like Alyssa Dawn (Dawning Perspective): Exemplify the continued evolution, applying Kilubansa in modern coaching and expanded “Nomenclature Charting.”

The Living Kilubansa: A Legacy of Evolution

Perhaps the most inspiring aspect of our conversation was Apu Adman’s vision for the future. He profoundly stated: “I feel Kilubansa is alive so it will evolve in the future even if I can no longer do it I know those who have been called to be a priest and priestess of Kilubansa will move it forward into advancement.”

This perspective transforms Kilubansa from a fixed doctrine into a living entity—a tradition that is not merely preserved but is destined to grow and adapt. Apu Adman’s dedication to building a lineage rather than just a legacy ensures that the wisdom of Kilubansa will continue to flourish through his students.

The future of Kilubansa, as envisioned by its architect, may see:

* Deeper Integration: With global energetic systems, proving the universality of its elemental principles.
* Technological Synergy: Utilizing data and AI to enhance diagnostic precision, while remaining rooted in spiritual guidance.
* Scientific Validation: Bridging ancient wisdom with modern research in fields like cymatics or epigenetics.
* Ancestral Reclamation: Continuously unearthing and integrating lost wisdom from diverse Philippine oral traditions.

Apu Adman Aghama’s work reminds us that true knowledge is a flame that brightens with sharing, not diminishes. His pioneering spirit has not only revived an essential piece of Filipino heritage but has also laid the groundwork for a dynamic spiritual science that will continue to heal and enlighten for generations to come.
