She may be one of the busiest and most visible television artists in show business today, but Amy Perez has become a master in striking a balance between her profession and personal life.
While successfully juggling her time among ABS-CBN shows Umagang Kay Ganda early morning, Sakto” on DZMM later, and It’s Showtime at noon, Amy (would you believe?) is still able to find time to take real good care of her family.
What’s surprising is that even in with that kind of schedule, she does not lose sight of the importance of taking care of herself. Amy, is turning 50 this year, and she understands her responsibility towards her audience and that goes with the awareness that she has to look good, always.
Her very busy schedule gets in the way of whatever she tries to make herself the look the best she could possibly be.
Time to seek the help of a friend who can do wonders for people like her. And that’s Dr. Vicki Belo of the Belo Medical Group (BMG) whom she turns to for all her beauty concerns.
She says, “Dr. Belo would see me from time to time, check my skin and recommend treatments. She tells me about sagging areas on my face and body or when I need to be hydrated. Wednesdays are my days in Belo clinic. It’s my me-time. I like that I am being pampered in the clinic.”
It is during these one-on-ones with Dr. Belo that Amy was advised to try Belo’s new non-surgical treatment called Kinetic Facelift. Amy describes her experience, “basically parang hangin na may dalang serum na mabilis na ini-infuse sa skin mo para mag-tighten at mag-lift. The serums help in skin remodeling while the Kinetic energy helps in skin tightening. The results are instant. I was back at work the next day. I loved it. The results can last up to a year.”
Amy is very thankful for this procedure. “I am always on TV and my calendar is so hectic. It’s really important that I get treatments that are quick but with lasting results and with very minimal or no downtime at all. Kinetic Facelift is really good,” she said.
Other than this, Amy says she is back with her personal beauty regimen of removing her make-up right away and always using Belo Sunblock everyday. She mimics Dr. Belo’s words of wisdom, “the best anti-aging product for your skin is sunscreen.”

Atienza slams Escudero’s P2-B Department of Culture
Sen. Francis Escudero’s proposal to put up a whole new Department of Culture at the cost of at least P2 billion yearly has drawn strong rebuke from Buhay Rep. Lito Atienza, the House senior deputy minority leader.
“We don’t really need another large and expensive bureaucracy such as a Department of Culture because we already have the National Commission for Culture and the Arts,” Atienza, former three-term mayor of Manila, said.
“What we absolutely need now is the immediate reintegration of culture and sports back into our public school system,” Atienza, a longtime champion of culture and sports and development, said.
Atienza has been batting for the “simple and practical reorganization” of the Department Education (DepEd) into the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS).
“Our proposal is far less bureaucratic and won’t cost taxpayers extra money, because we will just be restoring two bureaus under the DepEd—one for culture and one for sports. And these bureaus may be run by existing DepEd officials,” Atienza said.
Atienza said his House Bill 2628 merely seeks to rectify the blunder committed by Congress when it passed the Governance of Basic Education Act in 2001.
That law reorganized the previous DECS into what is now the DepEd and effectively disconnected culture and sports from the school system, according to Atienza
.“Once we have the DECS back, we should be able to properly guide the youth towards conserving our rich history and heritage, promoting arts and culture, strengthening their minds and bodies, and molding them into leaders and custodians of our nation’s future,” Atienza said.
Escudero’s proposed Department of Culture Act is up for plenary approval at the Senate, where he is chairman of the committee on education, arts and culture.
Senate Bill 1528 seeks an initial appropriation of P2 billion for the new department on its first full year of operation alone.
The senator’s mother, Sorsogon Rep. Evelina Escudero, is pushing for the counterpart bill in the House.
Nobody really knows what they are up to. They may possibly be interested in the future position of Secretary
