I arrived late at 8pm. I missed the presentation, discussions, and Dr.Vicky Belo, and the free facial treatments for bloggers, but met the new bloggers, blogger friends, plurkers, twitters, beauty bloggers, and Dr.Hayden Kho Jr.
Belo Medical Group met with some beauty bloggers and non-beauty bloggers in a tour in their Tomas Morato open house branch. I arrived late and I missed a lot of interesting topics and also try out on those special facial treatment. I'm no longer familiar with the process of these, but during my high school days I have this regular facial treatment in some clinics, but now I'm amazed on how Belo use some of the latest high tech machines and gadgets for determining some facial and skin problems, just like the photo above, The Visia machine is one of the latest machine they use, were it can scan and monitor some skin history and also it can detect wrinkles, open pores skin and many more. ( read more stories, photos and video coverage below)
I recorded a video blog post, and I interviewed some bloggers who were there and just to feel their experience during the tour inside the clinic, and also some details about the Belo foundation and plans of in the web. Also I learned that skin treatment today is a lot more easier compare the treatment I have in the past, so right now I'm thinking I'll be a thank you Belo person :)

Dr. Vicki Belo, medical director of the Belo Medical Group, put up the foundation in honor of her parents, lawyer Enrique Belo and wife Florencia, who instilled in her the value of charitable giving.
The private foundation was created for the education of needy children, rehabilitation of burned victims, surgery of children with cleft palate and environmental awareness. The core advocacy is geared towards the physical, mental and social welfare of the beneficiaries.
The launch of Ike and Nena Belo Foundation comes at an opportune time when the Belo Medical Group is celebrating its 18th anniversary as the country's top name in the field of dermatology and cosmetic surgery.
“The foundation carries the legacy of my parents and it is Belo's way of giving back after 18 years of being in the business,” Dr. Belo says. “We want to be part of shaping people's lives by fulfilling their goals and giving them a sense of value and satisfaction.”
Dr. Belo assures she will be on top of all the activities and charitable missions of foundation, which will include annual scholarship grants to poor but deserving students, community outreach, public service, medical missions, surgical assistance and environmental drives.

Belo Medical Group welcomes Dingdong Dantes in style
Belo Medical Group welcomes multi-talented actor/director/model Dingdong Dantes as the newest addition to its powerhouse stable of celebrity endorsers. Dingdong's launch coincides with his birthday bash, which has a James Bond theme, held at the NBC Tent at The Fort.
Dingdong's Casino Royale-inspired party comes complete with gaming tables, guns on display, sexy ladies and even a Martini bar that James Bond is known for – “shaken not stirred.”
An AVP produced by Infinite Ideas shows the actor in his Agent 007 character, driving a shiny Audi R8, brandishing slick hand guns, sporting an Omega chronograph watch, surfing the net in a MacBook-Pro laptop, using the latest cellphone gadget and getting in the thick of hard-core action.
Bayon Alcoseba of Peppermill Catering displays his expertise in preparing sumptuous food in stylized, buffet setting. Serving as the centerpiece of the table arrangements is a waterfall of diamonds to complement the James Bond concept.
Guests indulge in mouth-watering appetizers consisting of baked whole salmon encrusted in salt and herbs, grilled shrimp shooters with chipotle butter sauce, beef tacos parmigiana, chicken burrito wrap, mini-pancakes with smoked tanguigue and cream cheese. Grapes salad with Cervelat sausage is also on the buffet table.
Main course consists of baked dory herbs and spices, shrimp tamales, Argentina pork loin with apricot sauce, tequila lime chicken with pineapple salsa, fettuccine cream pesto with smoked chicken and steamed rice.
For the carving station, there's roasted calf; and for desserts, there are fresh fruits with chantilly cream, pistachio opera cake, yoghurt gazpacho shooters and hot fudge brownies.
An actor of Dingdong's stature certainly deserves the grand welcome from leading cosmetic surgeon and “Doctor to the Stars,” Vicki Belo, who is pleased to add him to Belo's growing roster of celebrity endorsers.
As Belo's newest signature model, Dingdong will endorse Belo-Shape, a special and unique combination of treatments to tighten skin and remove fat. The non-invasive body-shaping procedure can yield faster and visible results with far less effort.
Dingdong used to have stubborn love handles which he couldn't get rid of despite rigid workouts in the gym. But thanks to Belo-Shape, the actor became the highest paid underwear model and was voted as the No.1 Bachelor of 2007 of Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Dingdong became the Prince of Philippine telenovela when he starred as Carlos Miguel in Sana ay Ikaw Na Nga, one of the most popular primetime dramas of GMA 7 where he was paired with Tanya Garcia.
He also excelled in the movies opposite prime leading ladies such as Jolina Magdangal, Rica Peralejo and Judy Anne Santos. He was also invited to host a number of beauty pageants and TV shows which includes Binibining Pilipinas, SOP and Starstruck.
In 2005, Dingdong became popular with the kids and adults alike as King Ybrahim in the fantasy-themed series, Encantadia, where he was paired with Karylle. That same year, he hosted the afternoon horror show ‘Wag Kukurap, where he also acted as the director in a number of episodes.
In 2006, he was paired with Iza Calzado in two blockbuster movies – Moments of Love and Eternity. He had a primetime comeback when he played the lead role as Aquano in the fantaserye, Atlantika.
Dingdong became phenomenal last year when he portrayed the role of Sergio in the Philippine remake of Marimar opposite Marian Rivera.
Presently, Dingdong is making stronger waves as Fredo in GMA 7's Dyesebel, the highest rating primetime show today. He was recently awarded Most Popular Actor in a drama-miniseries in the 4th USTV Students’ Choice Awards and garnered a nomination as Movie Director of the Year in the 24th PMPC Star Awards for Movies for Angels.
Belo Medical Group has seven branches in Manila – Rustan's and Medical Plaza in Makati, Trinoma and Tomas Morato in Quezon City, Greenhills in San Juan, Podium in Ortigas and Westgate in Alabang – plus a booking facility in Subic.
