Last month, I attended the Belo Greenhills Open House and as a newbie to the company, I was amused on how the whole event was executed. I then imagined a scenario wherein some bloggers are present listening attentively to the talks, asking questions, voicing out their concerns and suggestions, trying out the difference services, enjoying good food and taking lotza pictures!
My imagination came into reality just last Saturday, August 16, 2008 at the Belo Medical Group Tomas Morato Branch. We invited some bloggers (mostly beauty and event bloggers) for the “experiment“. It was the first event where i took part in the planning and execution so i was pretty nervous the whole time
I was happy because a lot of bloggers made it on time. The bloggers introduced themselves to Doc Hayden Kho before he proceeded with the Beauty Talk where he discussed about the services (surgical and non-surgical) of the BMG. He also announced the different Belo advocacies such as Belo Goes Green (It is the main reason why we are using scratch papers for printing and we use mugs instead of plastic cups) and the upcoming Life Coach Program. He also informed everyone about the Ike and Nene Foundation, which was named after Dra. Belo’s parents.
While Doc Hayden was sharing a story on how Dra. Vicki Belo arrived in the clinic, the ever sexy vavavoom doctor of all time joined the discussion!
A lot of bloggers were stunned with her pressence. She gamely aswered everybody’s questions that are related to the clinic, the image, personal, the foundation and she even took into consideration the suggestion of the bloggers about the upcoming online campaigns and the new service name.
Dra. Vicki left shortly because she needs to attend in a dinner meeting. Doc Hayden and the rest of the BMG Marketing Group took charge of entertaining the bloggers and presenting to them the services that they can avail for free that day!
Toshi was the first one who tried the New Look or Biosculpt. He promised to go back to the clinic and try it out again!
Brian Ong tried the Inara
Coy Caballes tries the Ice Mask treatment with Faith, Fritz and Jeff
AJ Matela poses for the cameras after his Tenor treatment ( Belo should get him as an endorser!)
After an hour of trying out the services, we went straight to Packo’s Bar and Grill for dinner and more bonding sessions. Most of the bloggers got the chance to talk to Doc Hayden and the Belo Marketing staff and as expected, paparazzis are everywhere! Click! Click! Click!
Doc Hayden is not in the mood for pictures LOL
