Belo and the Brides =]

Brides-to-be got a chance to mix and mingle at the Grand Bridal Shower Party 2008. Belo, of course, took part in the fun and games!

The rain didn’t stop the excited brides from attending the fabulous event at One Esplanade last November 9, 2008. Women came from all over the Metro to party the night away. The place was packed with great booths from the different sponsors. It was overflowing with food and drinks as well.

The Belo Medical Group makes it’s presence felt!

Aside from the bridal fashion show by designer Amonn Velasco, the highlight of the night was the unveiling of the 2009 calendar boys which created quite a stir amongst the almost-married ladies. By donating to Bantay Bata 163, the ladies got a chance to vote for their favorite hunk.

The Belo Medical Group treated lucky brides-to-be with prizes such as free facials and body scrubs to help make them the most beautiful, blushing brides on their big days. Belo also sponsored a dating game, participated in by 10 daring brides. The hot and sexy love search brought about screams and cheers from the audience. Everyone was excited to find out who the mystery hunk would pick! More than winning the attention of the mystery hunk, the chosen bride brought home loads of treats and freebies from Belo!

Belo knows how important it is for every woman to feel like the most beautiful girl in the world on her wedding day. We want to help make every bride (and her entourage!) look radiant and glowing on that special day. Belo is the modern bride’s best friend. With Belo’s signature treatments and services, every bride’s dream of looking perfect can come true.

The winner of the dating game wins a kiss from the night’s hunk (as well as lots of freebies from Belo Medical Group!)

The event was hosted by Weddings and Lifestyle and organized by Loi Villarama Events Management.

Claudine for Belo Essentials Whitening Creams =]

Multi-faceted is what best defines women of today. Balancing a competitive career and a healthy family life is what keeps them going. “Reyna ng Teleserye” and queen of her home, Claudine Barretto knows this by heart. From growing up in the scrutinizing light of show business to transforming into a seasoned actress with prestigious awards under her belt, Claudine has made a stable career and a reputable name for herself. In the midst of this, she surprised the public by suddenly turning her life around when she adopted a baby girl. From being young and carefree, she showed everyone her soft and nurturing side. These days, Claudine gives her all – at work and at home. Even during her Belo Essentials TVC shoot, she tried her best to combine mommy time with professional time. The shoot was a family affair, with both her kids present, along with her husband Raymart. The Belo family was complete as well. Quark Henares directed the TVC, Belo Essentials managing director Cristalle Henares supervised, and Dr. Vicki Belo was also there to give her unwavering support. Both families have always been very close – Dr. Belo was ninang at Claudine and Raymart’s wedding and at the same time, Cristalle is ninang to their baby boy, Santino! This shows the trust and confidence Claudine has for the Belo women – both for her family’s affairs and for her beauty needs. During the day, Claudine makes an effort to nurture her blooming career and her respectable public image. At night, she goes home to nurture her growing family with all the love she can give. This leaves her very little time for regular skin treatments. A nurturing soul like Claudine needs as much protection and nourishment she gives. This is why Claudine trusts Belo Essentials Whitening Creams to give her skin the nurturing it deserves. She has Belo Essentials Day Cover Whitening Cream with SPF15 to keep her moisturized and protected during the day; while at night, she goes to sleep with Belo Essentials Night Therapy Whitening Cream. With her busy schedule and her all-out attitude, Claudine won’t have to worry about keeping her skin smooth and fair. Now, she can bring Belo home and let it work on her skin, both day and night. As Claudine takes care of the many details in her life, Belo Essentials takes care of Claudine. Every night, like Claudine, hundreds of women dream of beautiful, radiant, white skin. Now, it’s possible to wake up in the morning finding this dream a reality with Belo Essentials Whitening Creams.

Belo Beauty 101 on Studio 23

beauty,

After airing two successful seasons on The Filipino Channel (TFC), Belo Beauty 101, the 30-minute beauty and medical tele-magazine program, will now be seen on free TV every Saturday morning starting November 8, 8:30 to 9 a.m. on Studio 23.

Noted cosmetic surgeon Dr. Vicki Belo lives up to her tag as the “Philippine Ambassadress of Beauty” by being the show’s resident beauty and medical expert who introduces the Belo clinic’s wide range of treatments and services.

The thematic episodes every week give viewers a peek into the world of cosmetic surgery, which Dr. Belo revolutionized for the past 18 years. From the glamorous side of beauty, the program captures even the unglamorous part with reality VTRs of the actual procedures done on celebrities and patients, documenting one’s complete transformation.

Celebrities who underwent specific procedures at the Belo clinic give testimonials on their cosmetic surgery experience. There are also beauty tourists who recount their actual treatments to promote Belo as the premier destination for medical tourism in the region and emphasize the clinic’s equipment and services, which are at par with international standards.

Moreover, Belo Beauty 101 highlights unique and beautiful locations in the country to entice more balikbayans to return to the Philippines.

Dr. Belo tries her hand at TV hosting for the first time and is joined by a male co-host in every episode – Willie Revillame, Albert Martinez, Troy Montero, Christopher de Leon, Derek Ramsey, Edu Manzano, Piolo Pascual, Sam Milby, Jeremy Marquez, Christian Bautista, John Lloyd Cruz and Dr. Hayden Kho Jr.

Meanwhile, Belo Beauty 101 Season 2 is now on rerun on TFC until end of December.
