A. Panukalang Pahayag
Paano nalalaman ng mga manghuhula ang mga mangyayari sa buhay ng isang tao at saan nila napag-aralan ito. At dapat ba tayong maniwala sa kanila o hindi.
B. Introduksyon
Ang paksa ng pananaliksik na ito ay tungkol sa trabaho ng manghuhula na kilala sa pagiging magaling sa paghula ng mga mangyayari sa buhay ng isang tao o sa paghula sa magaganap sa darating na araw.
Nais mabatid ng pananaliksik na ito ang mga paraan nila sa panghuhula. Nais din ng pananaliksik na ito kung paano nila nalalaman ang kapalaran ng bawat tao. Nais ko din alamin kung saan sila nagumpisa para mapagaralan ang mga ito.
Ito ang napili kong paksa dahil gusto ko din na malaman kung paano sila nagumpisang manghula. At gusto ko ding makatulong sa mga taong umaasa o naniniwala sa mga manghuhula. Ginawa ko din ito para sa mga mag-aaral na nais mag-aral ukol dito.
C. Rebyu
Ayon sa isang artikulong aking nabasa, mayroong maraming paraan kung paano makita o malaman ang mangyayari sa buhay ng isang tao. At isa na doon ang pagbabasa sa mga palad ng mga taong huhulaan. Nagsimula ang pagbabasa ng palad sa India. Sumunod naman dito ang China, Egypt at India.
Ang isa namang paraan na kung paano makita o malaman ang mangyayari sa buhay ng isang tao ay ang pagbabasa ng cards. Ayon sa mga nakuha kong datos, ang ibang tao ay hindi interesado sa mga manghuhula pero binibisita nila ito kung may gusto silang malaman. At habang tumatagal, binibisita na nila ito buwan-buwan na para bang may follow-up sila sa kanilang therapy sa ospital.
D. Layunin
Ang pananaliksik na ito ay may layunin na makatulong sa madaming mag-aaral tungkol sa trabaho ng isang manghuhula at kung paano nila nalalaman ang kapalarang ng bawat tao. Ang layunin din ng pananaliksik na ito ay malaman kung paano sila nagsimulang manghula ng mga kapalarang ng bawat tao. Nais din ng pananaliksik na ito na malaman kung may katotohanan nga ba ang kanilang panghuhula.
E. Halaga
Ang pananaliksik na ito ay makatutulong sa mga mag-aaral upang madagdagan ang kaalaman nila tungkol sa mga manghuhula. Kung ang mga manghuhula ba ay nakakatulong sa mga tao o nagpapaasa lamang sa kanila.
F. Konseptuwal o Teoretikal na Balangkas
Claims have been made for tarot cards' having originated in China, India, or Egypt, but their true origin remains obscure. Tarot cards approximating their present form first appeared in Italy and France in the late 14th century.
At first it was probably used for playing games, though Gypsies may have used it for fortune-telling. From the 18th century, the cards began to take on esoteric associations, as certain European writers connected them to diverse traditions of mysticism, divination, alchemy, and ritual magic. Later in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the cards were discovered by a number of influential scholars of the occult. These gentlemen were fascinated by the tarot and recognized that the images on the cards were more powerful than a simple game would suggest. They revealed (or created!) the "true" history of the tarot by connecting the cards to Egyptian mysteries, Hermetic philosophy, the Kabbalah, alchemy, and other mystical systems. These pursuits continued into the early part of the twentieth century when the tarot was incorporated into the practices of several secret societies, including the Order of the Golden Dawn. The cards have retained these associations and are now widely used for fortune-telling.
The tarot is most commonly viewed as a tool for divination. A traditional tarot reading involves a seeker - someone who is looking for answers to personal questions - and a reader - someone who knows how to interpret the cards. After the seeker has shuffled and cut the deck, the reader lays out the chosen cards in a pattern called a spread. Each position in the spread has a meaning, and each card has a meaning as well. The reader combines these two meanings to shed light on the seeker's question.
G. Metodolohiya
Ang pananaliksik na ito ay nagsagawa ng mga panayam sa pamamagitan ng paghanap ng impormasyon sa internet para mapalawak ang kaalaman ng mga mag-aaral na magbabasa nito.
H. Saklaw/Delimitasyon
Dahil nasa Pilipinas ako, ang mga manghuhula sa Quiapo ang aking pupuntahan at kukuhanan ng mga impormasyon para makatulong sa aking pananaliksik. Sa Quiapo ang pinili ko dahil ako’y nasa Pilipinas at doon din mas kilala ang mga manghuhula. Pupunta ako ng Quiapo pag may mga tanong pa akong kailangan ng sagot.

Sa unang bahagi, dito tinatalakay ang depenisyon ng manghuhula at ang mga paraan na ginagamit nito sa panghuhula. Sa pangalawang bahagi naman, dito tinatalakay ang mga opinyon ng mga tao sa manghuhula at makikita dito na hindi sila sang-ayon sa mga ginagawa ng mga manghuhula. Sa huling bahagi naman ng aking pananaliksik, dito ko sinasabi ang konklusyon at rekomendasyon para sa aking pananaliksik.

A. Small Panimula
Ang mga manghuhula ay mga tao na nagbibigay ng mga kaganapan na “hula” lamang, depende na sa tao kung sila ay paniniwalaan o hindi. May mga tao na madaling maniwala sa manghuhula dahil minsan ito ay nagkakatotoo. Sila ay gumagamit ng baraha, pagbasa ng ating mga palad, bolang kristal o pagtingin sa bilog ng buwan. May mga tao rin na ang takbo ng buhay nila ay binabase sa panghuhula na ginawa sa kanila. Sa bawat bagay na gagawin nila ay nagpapahula muna sila bago nila ito gawin at minsan doon sila kumukuha ng ideya sa pagdedesisyon.
There are divination(fortune telling), practices using the human body: aromancy (readings based upon a person's shoulders), copromancy (readings based upon human feces), omphalomancy (counting the bumps in an umbilical cord), stolisomancy (reading omens in the way people dress), and more. There are plenty of practices using non-human animals as well: haruspicy (reading animal entrails, one of the most popular), ololygmancy (reading the howls of wolves and dogs), oomancy (reading the shape of an egg white after the egg is broken into a glass or saucer of water), plastromancy (reading the cracks in a heated tortoise shell), and many others.
Food is certainly a popular means of divination - everyone has heard about tasseography (reading tea leaves), but how many have heard about alomancy (divination with table salt) or tyromancy (divination using cheese - for example, the shape and number of holes)? Pickover offers further information on a plethora of other methods divided into categories like: methods using fire, methods using sounds, methods using vision, lights and shiny things, methods using things that swing, slide or swirl, and of course many, many more.
There are hundreds of techniques for divination (fortune telling), many dating back to before recorded history. Evidence indicates that forms of fortune-telling were practiced in ancient China, Egypt, Chaldea, and Babylonia as long ago as 4000 BC. Prophetic dreams and oracular utterances played an important part in ancient religion and medicine.
Every human culture has developed its own forms of soothsaying. The oracles of ancient Greece predicted the birth of heroes and triumph on the battlefield. Medieval kings had their court astrologers and wizards, who were consulted about political matters and marriage choices.
Predictive methods of fortune-telling include astrology (interpretation of the movements of heavenly bodies as influences on earthly events), numerology, and the utilization of objects such as playing cards, tea leaves, crystal balls, dice, fire, water, and scattered salt. Fortune-telling as a process of character analysis can take such forms as graphology (study of handwriting), physiognomy (study of facial characteristics), phrenology (study of contours on the skull), and palmistry (study of lines on the palm of the hand).
Fortune telling, the usual thing we hear about being able to know what the future holds for us will always draw varied criticism. Many do not believe in it, while some do. Depending on how superstitious a person may be, it all boils down to believing if what your future holds for you is believable or not. For the record, consistency from how gifted people are able to read you without uttering a word will surely be the first gauge of measurement in being able to tell if a person would believe it them or not.
Fortune telling or psychic reading has become an art that has been crafted by countless thousands of people worldwide. Many people have tried to master this true art and you can only master it if you spend a large quantity of time with it. Most people that try to understand the psychic reading usually don't know how to understand it because they often judge what another person has told them about it.
A true psychic artist has to realize that they are the father or mother of their own psychic gift. The psychic gift is not meant to be taught. You can learn about the psychic gift, but you cannot master it until you have spent many years in obtaining the knowledge behind it. Give yourself the answers that you need during a psychic reading and you will see for yourself that you cannot understand what another person is getting at until they have fully understood you as a person. The psychic gift is just one way for you to realize what you are doing in this life. You have to come to terms with a psychic gift and you must understand that a psychic has to give you more of a clear understanding to what they are talking about. The art of the true psychic is often allowing you to give to other people through the use of the psychic third eye.

Fortune-tellers come out of the woodwork and pretend they're able to foretell the future. They call themselves various names--psychic, astrologer, clairvoyant, seer, soothsayer, crystal gazer, etc.--all sorts of names except the right one: charlatan.
There is a certain art to being a manghuhula. Being one--at least, of the Quiapo variety--is like being Princess Scheherazade, the storyteller in Arabian Nights. The manghuhula tells a story that is never finished, that has suspense toward the end, so that, like in Scheherazade's Sultan, the victim, or customer, keeps coming back for a continuation of the suspense-filled story.
For example, a love-struck man (or woman) is told that somebody is secretly in love with him/her. Naturally, he/she would like to know who it is. And cleverly the manghuhula would answer that the image is still hazy. "We will probably see who it is the next time. Come back (and don't forget my fee)," the manghuhula would say. And like a sap, the victim would keep coming back.
Who is it? You eagerly ask. And the manghuhula gives you bits and pieces of clues which can apply to anybody. So that the next time you think somebody is stealing glances at you, you begin to think that this is the person secretly in love with you.
But you see, the predictions are all hazy, ambiguous and iffy. But those things are sure to happen somewhere, sometime. And when they do, the psychics will boast: "I foretold that!"
But floods do happen all the time in one place or the other. They happen several times a year in the Philippines. Planes crash and presidents and prime ministers die all the time; there is violence everywhere. In fact, there are several wars going on right now, not to mention inner violence.
Come to think of it, if the manghuhulas can tell the future, why are most of them poor? Why do they have to ply their trade on the sidewalks of Manila or in carnivals during town fiestas? Why do they have ramshackle fortune-telling parlors in decaying apartment houses in the seedy parts of cities? Why don't they have mansions? Why don't they win the lotto and the sweepstakes? Or why can't they go to a casino and put it out of business, that is, if they really can tell the future?

A. Small Pangwakas
Ayon sa mga nakalap na impormasyon, ang mga manghuhula ay may iba’t ibang paraan sa panghuhula. May mga totoo din na manghuhula pero depende na sa tao kung sila ay maniniwala o hindi.
B. Konklusyon
Ayon sa aking pananaliksik totoong may mga manghuhula pero hindi natin dapat i-base ang ating buhay batay sa mga panghuhulang ginagawa sa atin.
C. Rekomendasyon
Totoong may mga manghuhula pero hindi natin dapat i-base ang ating buhay batay sa panghuhulang ginagawa sa atin dahil walang tanging nakakaalam ng kung ano ang mangyayari sa ating kinabukasan kundi ang Diyos lamang at wala nang iba pa. Kung tayo ay huhulaan na gaganda ang ating buhay pero hindi naman tayo kumikilos or gumagawa ng paraan para umasenso, wala ring mangyayari. May kasabihan tayo na “nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa.” Huwag tayong masaydo maniwala sa mga sasabihin ng mga manghuhula.
