Ang celebrity beauty doctor na si Dra.Vicki Belo ang keynote speaker sa pagdiriwang ng National Women’s month sa lalawigan ng Bataan noong Biyernes, March 26, 2020.
Si Mrs. Victoria Garcia, ang ina ni Bataan Governor Albert Raymond Garcia, ang chairperson ng Bataan Provincial Women’s Commission na katulong ng local government sa paglaban sa COVID-19.
Bago nagsalita si Dra. Belo, nanawagan si Mrs. Garcia sa lahat ng kababaihan sa Bataan na dapat magpakita sila ng halimbawa para mapigilan ang pagkalat ng coronavirus.
Ani Mrs. Garcia: "The women of Bataan persevere in the face of difficulties and just like all the challenges that we have faced in our storied and historic past, we will conquer and overcome.
"We have to be the prime examples of discipline and leadership in our family and communities.
"We have to follow protocols and ensure that others do this as well. In effectively protecting one another, we will quickly rise as one to eliminate the coronavirus and all the ills that it brings to our people."
Si Mrs. Garcia at ang Bataan Provincial Women’s Commission ang nag-imbita kay Dra. Belo sa virtual gathering na dinaluhan ng mahigit tatlong daang (300) kababaihan mula sa iba’t ibang sektor.
DRA. VICKI belo'S MOTIVATING FORCE
Sa naturang pagtitipon, muling ikinuwento ni Dra. Vicki na biktima siya ng bullying noong kabataan niya dahil “fat, ugly, at adopted" ang mga tukso sa kanya.
Ang mga panglalait na naranasan ang dahilan kaya bata pa lang siya ay pinangarap na ni Dra. Belo na maging doctor of beauty.
Pagbabalik-alaala ni Dra. Vicki: "I thought then that because I was fat and ugly, my real parents didn’t like me and decided to give me away.
"So, I had to be become a doctor who could make people beautiful so their parents won’t give them away."
Hindi rin niya nakalimutang banggitin na "beautiful" ang kahulugan ng "belo" sa Portuguese at Italian.
FAIRY GODMOTHER OF BEAUTY
Nagkuwento rin si Dra. Vicki tungkol sa transformation ng apat na kababaihang tinulungan niya.
Kabilang dito ang events host na si Bianca Valerio, ang ABS-CBN artist na si Morisette Amon, si Jinkee Pacquiao, at ang pinakahuli ay ang The Clash Season 3 champion na si Jessica Villarubin.
Hindi itinago ni Jessica sa publiko na sumailalim siya kamakailan sa rhinoplasty surgery para gumanda ang hugis ng kanyang ilong.
Sabi ni Dra. Vicki: "It really makes me happy when I see how the physical changes in my patients affect them in the most positive way.
"They are able to get opportunities in life that were not even possible before their transformation. “
"That’s really priceless and you cannot put a price tag to that.
"I feel so fulfilled to help change their lives this way."
COUNSELING FOR THOSE UNDERGOING COSMETIC SURGERY
Kinumpirma ni Dra. Vicki na totoo ang cosmetic surgery addiction dahil may mga pasyenteng paulit-ulit ang pagpaparetoke ng mukha.
Kaya may psychologists at therapists ang mga beauty clinic niya para matulungan at mapayuhan ang mga addict sa cosmetic surgery.
"Because some of them have been enjoying the praises they reap after a procedure, they tend to ask for more and sometimes what they want done is no longer beneficial for them.
"At Belo, we help people look better by enhancing their natural look."
