BELO MEDICAL GROUP

Beauty giant Belo Medical Group is actively showing its support to help the country through its multiple contributions. The company owned by doctor to the stars, Dr Vicki Belo, has gathered all its remaining personal protective equipment (PPEs) and medical supplies worth Php3 million to donate and distribute to various hospitals and health institutions in the city. The group has also pledged to provide daily meals to 21 hospitals and two LGUs (to date have sent out 25,000 meals) until the quarantine period is lifted. It is also providing a no-work, with-pay scheme to all its employees and early release of employees’ 13th-month pay during the current work suspension because of COVID-19. The company has also urged other beauty and wellness centres to do the same in distributing their remaining PPEs and medical supplies. The group has also helped fund 8,000 testing kits and have helped fabricated intubation cubes that were sent out to 10 under-equipped provincial hospitals. In addition, Belo’s two daughters, Scarlet Snow and Cristalle, did their part in helping during the crisis. Scarlet Snow, through her social media account and with the help of her followers, raised over P1-million to help purchase additional PPEs. While Cristalle, who gave birth to her first child Sienna Victoria last 31 March, has sent out 31 care packages to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) babies to commemorate the special day of her newborn.
