USA ka political activist ang nanawagan og national boycott sa tanang Belo Medical Clinics, Flawless Clinics ug Belo beauty products human ang gikuninitan kaayo nga cosmetic procedures nga gihimo sa singing sensation Charice.
Si Attorney Argee Guevarra nagsulti nga ang cosmetic surgeon nga si Vicki Belo di angay nga buhaton ang thermage ug Botox procedures sa 18-anyos nga singer.
"All Filipinos should be outraged at Belo's medical irresponsibility after she recommended a Thermage to Miss Charice Pempengco: that her naturally-round face is not acceptable to the world. This is the height of Dr. Belo's blatant insult to the Filipinos who have been struggling to fight discrimination here and abroad," ni Guevarra.
Gihulagway sa abogado ang procedure nga "medical quackery at its ugliest" tungod alang niya di na kinahanglan pa nga mopailawom sa thermage ug Botox sa Charice.
Gisaway sab sa abogado si Dr. Vicki nga sumala pa way saktong training aron nga himuon ang procedures.
"Dr. Belo is neither a duly-certified surgeon recognized by the Philippine College of Surgeons nor a duly-certified member of the Philippine Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. Heck, Belo is not even a member of the Philippine Dermatological Society. So, what business is she pontificating on anything that has anything to do with plastic surgery procedures?" batbat sa abogado.
Sa statement nga gipagula sa Belo Medical Group, gisaway nila ang abogado tungod sa mga "false and baseless statements" niini.
"Guevarra should be more circumspect in making such defamatory remarks," dugang sa Belo.
Gi-deny sab sa Belo Medical Group ang mga akusasyon sa uban nila nga kompanya.
"The Belo companies, including their doctors, strictly comply with all government-issued rules and regulations. As an example of the falsity of Atty. Guevarra's claims, it only shows how ignorant he is to call botox a plastic surgery procedure, when it's just a non-invasive injection," sa ilang statement.
"Being a lawyer, Attorney Guevarra should know that if he has legitimate grievances, then he must air them in the appropriate forum rather than in the media," nila.
Ang grupo plano sab nga mopasaka og civil and criminal charges againts sa abogado tungod sa "disseminating these malicious lies against us."
