In 1999 Orbito built the Pyramid of Asia Spiritual Healing Center in Cabanbanan, Manaoag, and from 1999 through 2007 conducted International Healing Seminars and Gatherings there. The 1999 inauguration was attended by Fidel V. Ramos, former President of the Philippines. The center features an 11-meter-high pyramid, constructed entirely of wood and stone and containing no screws, nails, or any electrically conductive material at all. (As of 2005, it requires extensive repairs due to termite damage which was restored in 2007).

Orbito owns the Orbit Tours and Travel Agency, which offers "tours of the Philippines for the purpose of spiritual healing". In 2006, Orbito initiated the first Heart & Healing Tour with the goal to learn and exchange, whereby therapists, healers and doctors from various countries worked side by side to treat the local population in villages of Pangasinan.
