They say that it is during the most trying of times that a person’s true character is revealed. When things don’t go according to plan and people are tested to their limits, this is when a person’s mask that he presents to society is stripped away.
This couldn’t be more when it comes to Doc Paolo Bellosillo. Doc Paolo Bellosillo has been helping people live their best life by teaching them more about naturotheraphy. When the pandemic hit, Doc Pao pivoted and focused on helping people survive the pandemic.
An International Specialist of St Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital and proclaimed Most Outstanding Private Citizen given by PNP, Doc Pao exemplifies what resiliency is all about. He did not let the pandemic stop him from touching people’s lives and making a difference in this world.
Tireless in his efforts to give aid to those who need him most and to show support to fellow frontliners, Doc Pao stays out so that others can stay home and stay safe.
This year, Christmas is not as felt as it has been in the past because of the ongoing pandemic, typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Despite the despair and death happening all around, this country has survived together and moved forward as one nation.
Doc Pao is grateful though that the Filipino spirit remains well and alive. It takes a lot to break a spirit but thankfully, the Filipino spirit is not easy to break. We are a loving race and we have heaps of charity, love, service, and humanity.
This Christmas, Doc Pao will be sharing his blessings by providing food for the hungry, water for the thirsty, and medicine for the sick. He also plans to visit the Lord and have a dialogue with him. Lastly, he will be with his family enjoying a family meal cooked healthily to ensure that he is able to live his best life.
Precious stones, gemstones, and jewelry have always been connected to human culture since time immemorial. These beautiful adornments continue to hold real meaning and value.
Throughout the course of history, jewelry has been offered as a trophy, an amulet, and sometimes, even art. It perfectly symbolizes love, a celebration of milestones, and of course, the ultimate representation of wealth.
The line between jewelry and money has always been intertwined with each other. To this day, jewelry continues to be used as currency, inheritance, and investment. But investing in jewelry requires the right knowledge and responsibility.
It is a wise and valuable asset to have as it continues to grow in value every year. In fact, many investors prefer investing in jewelry more because it is less risky than other markets. Interestingly enough, while the value of the world’s currencies constantly fluctuates, gold, diamonds, and other precious metals and stones, on the other hand, has remained stable. Despite the many global economic downturns, including the current pandemic that has severely affected the world’s economies, the value of jewelry has held strong.
Though the price of gold, gold jewelry, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and other gemstones and precious stones also fluctuates, its value however has never truly depreciated significantly. Their value continues to steadily appreciate over time. “What’s beautiful about investing in jewelry is that it is timeless and its value does not diminish.
Real jewelry becomes more valuable over time and it is a great investment asset to have as it pays dividends in the future,” said Tyzianna Teves of Just Jewels. From November 23 to 29, 2020, Just Jewels, one of the country’s highly respected stores of real and authentic jewelry, will be holding their Bright Beginnings Black Friday Grand Sale on Facebook, www.justjewels.com.ph, and at all the Just Jewels branches nationwide. The Grand All Out Sale will likewise guest Sofia Andres in the Facebook Live selling event on November 23, November 27, and November 29. There will also be raffle prizes, games, and many more exciting activities for the attendees.

“Sa ngayon, pangamba at pagdududa ang pumipigil sa ating ibalik ang dating buhay. Pero aangat tayong muli, dahil may isang bagay na hindi kayang kunin ng COVID sa atin. Ito ang ating pagiging matibay at determinado.”
Impactful, encouraging, and deeply needed. These are some of the most common responses you will see in the “Ingat Angat Tayong Lahat” video that filled the news feeds this month. The production is part of Ingat Angat, a private sector-led campaign that aims to re-start the Philippine economy by empowering Filipinos with vigilance.
It’s not surprising. For so long, many Filipinos were wondering what will happen next as we watch the pandemic hit the nation. Worries were piling up as we all stayed inside of our homes, afraid of the unseen. With “Ingat Angat Tayong Lahat”, it was shown that new normal can also be faced with smiles; fears still present but laced with renewed trust to others.
One of the most uplifting scenes in the video was witnessing the country’s biggest brands banded together in one frame. Usually in tight competitions to win the consumers’ hearts, to see them united in a mission brought a sense of boosted hope to many.
The message is clear: Ingat Angat believes in Filipinos’ solidarity. That by washing hands frequently, wearing a mask and face shield at all times and maintaining distance from others in our everyday life, the country will get back on our feet safely and surely.

The truth is, it is already happening. Beyond the viral video, you can also learn stories of resilience anywhere in the Philippines. Take for example Jayson Sarno, a former agent-installer of Cignal. Starting small by canvassing house to house and getting stocks from distributors, Sarno is now an owner of Rade Dish Argao.
“Wala pa kaming pwesto dati. Simula noong nagkaroon kami ng store, ‘yong kita namin naging sapat na para makabili kami ng bahay, ng sasakyan. Hanggang sa nakapag-branch out na ako.” he said.
With the pandemic happening, Sarno’s partnership with Cignal helped him survive the struggles in their operations. Guided by safety measures in doing their day-to-day business, Rade Dish Argao was able to survive the hits of COVID-19 and maintain being one of the leading dealers of Cignal.
Sarno’s story echoes “Ingat Angat Tayong Lahat” faith. “Walang kasiguraduhan ang mga susunod na araw. Ang sigurado lang, ay kapag isinapuso natin ang pag-iingat, aangat tayong muli.” He’s not the only one believing as Cignal sees a rise in the number of Filipinos ready to get back on their feet.
As there is no franchise fee being required, being a dealer is becoming one of the go-to options for many. Cignal is known to be committed in providing awesome viewing experience to millions of families nationwide. With their equally-awesome offer to potential partners, the company is also helping in rebuilding our country by providing livelihood opportunities to many Filipinos. Due to the continuous vigilance being practiced by community quarantine, the demand for more dealers within the vicinity is high. Being a Cignal partner is like hitting two birds with one stone; helping the economy by doing business and helping Filipinos by making sure they don’t need to go far to avail their needs.

When the pandemic happened, a lot of things changed. The way people interact with each other, the way business is done, the way we travel, lead our lives, and even who we can see and when we can go out; all of these have changed.
The one thing that did not change is Doc Pao’s desire to do good to people. When everyone stayed home in fear of the virus, Dr. Paolo Bellosillo was out and about ensuring that he is able to help people with the use of all the knowledge that he has gained over the years in his field of medicine. Even though it was a struggle getting in and off PPEs, staying in one due to the heat, and making sure that no virus seeps in, Doc Pao forged on.
Doc Pao is an International Fellow Doctor Of Integrative Medicine as well as Diplomate Of Whole Medical Systems with Post Graduate studies in anti-aging medicine. He also has an
Advance Certification in Bioidentical Hormone Therapy and Cardio-Metabolic Medicine
Plus Board in Homeland Security. He used all that he learned from these in handling the health of around 250 mixes of law enforcement, military, and civilian patients by way of constant monitoring and providing them with the right doctor care and nutrition.
Through the use of cellular medicine, Doc Pao has also helped numerous patients overcome diseases. Through allopathic, naturopathic, homeopathic, and ayurvedic means, he is able to find the right balance to help his patient not only heal from their sickness but also learn how to have a healthier lifestyle to have a better quality of life.
Doc Pao recommends remaining mobile and exercising during these times aside from eating your vegetables and fruits. He says that though tempting to stay up all night, it’s best to still get a full night’s sleep as it heals the body and recharges you to have more energy throughout the day. Doc Pao believes that when people take care of their bodies, they have a better chance of being healthy and remaining active.
One of the most humbling experiences that Doc Pao experienced recently was taking care of a family of 8 whose age groups were extreme and had varying medical needs. Helping them win their battle against COVID without getting intubated through the help of a multidisciplinary team of HCWs from ICU nurses, IV nurses, med techs for serum lab and molecular lab tests while giving proper care through Multi Holistic modalities including IV therapy and implementing cellular nutrition protocols and Monitoring via compact equipment, home-based especially when hospitals were full was one of the most challenging yet rewarding things that Doc Pao went through.
Doc Pao hopes that the Philippines can soon have a more realistic COVID-19 management system in place with zero casualties by utilizing whole medical systems. Doc Pao has always been about enhancing the quality of life and helping people avoid becoming sick. In these trying times where a great immune system is one of the best ways to fight off the virus, Doc Pao’s advocacy matters more than ever.
