How Pedong Became an Albularyo

The power of an Arbularyo to heal sick people with a malady caused by either witchcraft or mischievous elementals is normally bequeathed to him by his ancestors. It is passed on from one generation to the next through a ritual performed before the demise of the expiring bearer. But for Pedong, his ancestors didn't bestow on him such power. He became an Arbularyo through acuity and bravery.
