All about the eyes on ‘Salamat Dok’
They say that the eyes are the windows to a person’s soul. So then why do we keep taking them for granted? Dark under-eye circles, eye bags, crows feet, wrinkles, sagging eyelids – these give out a picture of stress and ageing. Don’t let your eyes give you away.
This Sunday on “Salamat Dok,” esteemed “Doctor to the Stars” Dr. Vicki Belo talks about achieving beautiful eyes. Learn about laser blepharoplasty or surgery for the upper or lower eyelids. This is commonly done to remove large eye bags and is a favorite among Asians who want to create eyelid folds. It is also a popular procedure for those who want to remove crows feet and wrinkles around the eyes.
Effective non-surgical eye treatments to reduce wrinkles and produce younger-looking eyes such as meso-eyes and botox for the eyes will also be discussed in the episode.
Watch “Salamat Dok” on ABS-CBN this Sunday, Sept. 20, from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. The program provides information on medical concerns, with free on-air consultation with the guest physician.
Every third Sunday of the month, Dr. Belo guests in “Salamat Dok” and discusses the latest treatments and procedures being offered by the Belo Medical Group. Cheryl Cosim hosts the show.

SpongeBob SquarePants’ ‘Happy Campaign’
Nicksters, it’s slime time once again and Nickelodeon is bringing out its campus compass! So put on your goo goggles and wear your orange badges because your school might be one of the twenty schools to be invaded by slime starting this August.
It’s time for Nick Takes Over Your School, a nationwide program dedicated to promoting fun, sportsmanship, team spirit and physical challenge among grade school students ranging from 7 to 12 years of age through a series of school invasions. In each invasion, schoolmates become each other’s teammates and teachers become every student’s friend. Now, how’s that for a day’s homework?
And because 2009 is SpongeBob’s 10th anniversary, this year’s theme will be all about the yellow fellow’s optimism, happy attitude, and enthusiasm.
And since the past years’ school invasions were a blast, the slime mobile is once again refueled and geared to “goo”! Aside from the 16 schools within Luzon this year, a total of 20 schools across the country – including several in Cebu and Cagayan de Oro City – are in for the sliming. Students will also get to shout “Hello Yellow!” because SpongeBob SquarePants will be dropping by before the Nick day ends!
Nick Takes Over Your School is presented by Jack ‘n Jill Kiddie Candies; co-sponsored by Nestlé Chuckie, Jack ‘n Jill Chiz Curls, Toy Kingdom, Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdog, Enervon C Plus Syrup, GUESS Kids, Polly Pocket, Battle Strikers, Del Monte Fruitini, Knick Knacks, Goldilocks, and Ace Water Spa. The campaign is also in partnership with Negros Navigation.
