Six presidential candidates Sunday got more unsolicited advice to boost their chances of victory in the May 10 elections, but this time it was from neither political adviser nor a counsellor of a religious group but from Dr. Victoria “Vicky” Belo – a famous cosmetic doctor.

As guest of “Salamat Dok” – a Sunday morning show hosted by Bernadette Sembrano aired on the ABS-CBN channel, Belo came out with “beauty tips” for candidates to entice more voters on Election Dayin addition to their usual platform of governance.

“It is important that our President should always look good because people from other countries would see the Filipinos in them,” Belo said. The 54-year-old head of the Belo Medical Group, known for providing the latest technology health and beauty to the country’s top showbiz people, believes that “beauty rules” in the political circle, too.

Starting with Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, Liberal Party standard bearer, Belo suggested that he does something for his thinning hair by availing himself of a modern hair transplant process to attract more voters.

She suggested that Noynoy – a consistent topnotcher on poll surveys – should undergo a Thermage procedure which involves skin laser to improve his loose facial skin that makes him look much older.

Former Joseph “Erap” Estrada of the Puwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) needs no hair transplant since he is blessed with thick hair. But Belo pointed out that Erap, a former movie actor who is seeking reelection, needs to do something with his bulging eye bags.

For her former “crush,” Sen. Richard “Dick” Gordon of Bagumbayan, Vicky thinks Botox work on his forehead will do him wonders to look much better. Gordon must undergo liposuction on the cheeks and near the chin to make his face smaller.

Belo also said that Gordon must do something about his worsening lines in his forehead.

Former defense secretary Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro Jr., administration’s “very attractive presidential bet,” obviously needs hair transplant. But Belo suggested that a little improvement must be done on Gibo’s drooping eyes and wide nose.

To counter his ageing skin, she said that Gibo can undergo Ultherapy system which will tighten his loosened skin for that younger look.

Considered the “only rose among the thorns,” Belo wants Botox and liposuction work on the face of Ma. Consuelo “Jamby” Madrigal to reduce its “squareness.” “O di ba? girl na girl na siya (Doesn’t she look more feminine now),” Vicky commented on the “after” computer enhanced photo of Jamby.

Sen. Manuel “Manny” Villar of the Nacionalista Party would look more handsome if he gets rid of the crow’s feet lines on his face through Botox and Obagi to avert skin degeneration resulting from too much exposure from sun heat and stress.
