"Good morning Sir Tony,

"I hope you’re having a great week. Nais ko lang po humingi ng payo kung inyo pong mamarapatin na sagutin kung magpapatuloy pa ba ako sa pag-aaral sa Haring Bakal. "Nagsimula po akong umanib noong Abril ng kasalukuyang taon at nagsimula mag-aral ng mga oracion. Nitong Hunyo ay nagpunta ako sa isang healer at sinabihan ako na malas daw po ang mga anting-anting at ang mga dasal ay galing sa demonyo. Binanggit niya po na bakit daw kailangan pang pakainin ng dasal ang mga anting-anting. "Masama po ba umanib sa Haring Bakal? Ang mga dasal po ba dito ay galing sa kadiliman? Ano po magandang gawin sa naibigay na anting-anting at mutya sa akin kung sakaling hindi ako magpatuloy sa pag-aaral? "Nais ko rin po itanong kung saan ko matatagpuan sa pampanga ang mangagamot na binanggit nyo sa inyong blog na tumulong sa pag-kontrol nyo sa tikbalang. "Marami po salamat sa inyong oras at pasensiya na po sa abala. "Lubos na gumagalang, "_______"

My reply:

Hello ______!

Akala ko ba nakatira ka at nagtatrabaho sa barko? Paano kang makapag-aaral ng Haring Bakal sa barko?

There is nothing wrong with Haring Bakal. Their origins can be traced back to the Pulajanes, who massacred the American oppressors in Balanguiga years ago. When they expanded from the Visayas to Mindanao they were known as Tadtad. When they expanded to Manila, they became known as Haring Bakal.

Haring Bakal is nothing more than a brotherhood of men with common interests. When they work in the context of volunteerism, they go side by side with Vanguards, a non-magical community group, also of men, who keep peace and order and assist those in need of help.

There is also nothing wrong with reciting oraciones, with or without talismans. You do the same thing to your rosary, and priests do the same to sacramentals and holy water. You are disadvantaged by having consulted a healer who is neither a member of Haring Bakal nor has deep knowledge about it.

I was initiated into Haring Bakal in Santander, Cebu, in 2014, a year before I retired. I was given the most sadistic and infamous blesser, a police sergeant, who prayed over me and dealt me the first seven blows. The bruises on my stomach and legs lasted three weeks. I thought of establishing Haring Bakal Cubao when I got home but decided against it because I already had the Spirit Questors (none of whom are Haring Bakal members) and was determined to live my life as a hermit immediately upon retirement.

If you have doubts about anything you get yourself into, that means, to me, that you are half-hearted, wishy-washy, and uncertain. Unfortunately I will never give you any concrete advice as to whether to go forward or backward. That kind of decision is best made by yourself--as a man and as a mature human being.
