Out of nowhere in the province of Marinduque, set during the colonization of Spaniards and wide spread of Christianity, a group of religious elder women sang an ancient slow healing rituals which involved the intercession of patron saints around wounded Spaniards and Filipino soldiers after a great battle.
In 1898, this unknown healing ritual was called “Putong Sinambulatan”. This well-known tradition of the province do not come out into the culture just as it is now today. Marinduque is not a pure cultured place, many of its segments have been colonized by different races who conquered the archipelago through different period of time. Transitions in different periods by different races who influenced the culture affect Putong’s original custom.
Many local and national researchers got interested to find answers in satisfaction of their curiosity and to feed up their confusion regarding the antiquity of “Putong”. Varieties of term papers, research studies, theses and dissertations were conducted which consulted lots of books and significant persons but none of them has a clear discussion on the historical background of the tradition. Until now, the mystery about its seed has never been completely solved. It is still unknown, unlearned and never put into concrete records.
