Bisaya Tradition & Religion

          In Bisaya community some of them are Islamic believer because of marriage or changes of believes. The majorities of Bisaya in Limbang are Christian believer and some still practice their forefather believes and tradition.
          Although  Bisayan respect their forefather culture and tradition in medicine, marriage and death, actually it is rarely practice nowadays. This probably because of they followed their religion teaching. Shaman and midwife(bidan) still can be contact when needed but today communities prefer more to go to the nearest clinic for treatment. This probably because they have learned and modernized them self and also because of modern medication and treatment exposure which is safer and trusted. Who knows if you are allergic of the shaman medication. Instead of getting healthy you might worsen your condition. Your choice.. ;)
