This is the verb form. When your tita tells you, "Halika, hilurin kita," it's an offer you can't refuse. It means she's about to apply her expert-level hilot skills on your aching back. It's the action of giving that therapeutic, bone-cracking (in a good way) massage.
ROOT MEANING: traditional Filipino massage; traditional midwife
Object-focused verb. The person being massaged is the object.
