Former Miss Universe To Promote Philippine Medical Tourism
By Komfie Manalo - All Headline News Foreign October 8, 2006
Manila, Philippines (AHN) - Former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres has been tapped by the Philippine government to promote its medical tourism after she was named as the face of Beverly Hills 6750, a new surgical center specializing in plastic surgery in Makati City, Philippines.
Presidential Chief of Staff Michael Defensor said the beauty queen would be a big bost the country's booming medical tourism industry.
He said, "We are encouraged by Miss Torres' decision to endorse a local company, and the Philippines as a whole, as a hub of wellness and rejuvenation. As an international celebrity, she will help attract interest for the country. I think she has the credibility to pull in the tourists and she has a strong affinity with Filipinos."
He said he would meet with Philippine Tourism Secretary Joseph "Ace" Durano to discuss more ways in tapping the celebrity status of Torres to further promote the country's medical tourism business.
Torres was chosen to be the face of Beverly Hills 6750, a new surgi-center, whose staff boasts of leading specialists from St. Luke's Medical Center, Makati Medical Center and University of Sto. Tomas Hospital.
The center is partly owned by celebrity couple David Bunevacz and Jessica Rodriguez, a close friend of the ex-Miss Universe.
Beverly Hills 6750 medical director Eduardo Santos disclosed that Torres "provides credibility to the whole business with her wholesome image and professional reputation."
The new surgi-center is an affiliate of the Beverly Hills Institute, a top medical center in southern California which specializes in plastic surgery.
Torres is scheduled to arrive in Manila on November 10-12 where she will conduct photo shoot and celebrity interviews. She is also expected to meet with Defensor and Durano.
Santos adds the center aims to tap the Japanese, Chinese and Korean markets that is why they decided on having Torres as their image model. "By endorsing a local surgical center, Torres would be uplifting the image of the Philippines overseas," he explained.
