Rebecca Bustamante, CEO of Asia Events, has always been a force to reckon with among key industries and businesses in the Philippines. As an inspirational keynote speaker and organizer of the largest business forums and summits in the country, she has helped empower professionals to take charge of their careers and create their path to success.
But beyond her professional triumphs, Bustamante knows that true empowerment starts with taking charge of one’s health, and for her, partnering with Fullerton Health has been a crucial part of that journey. As a woman who believes in the power of preventive care, she shares her story of health challenges and triumphs—all fueled by her trust in Fullerton’s executive health screening facility.
In 2005, at 38 years old, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was given only six months to live. The news was devastating. “I was paralyzed, I couldn’t function,” she recalls. “It was the biggest turning point of my life.”
That wake-up call made her more intentional about wellness, sparking a lifelong commitment to proactive healthcare and preventive measures.
In her search for a healthcare provider that aligned with her commitment to long-term wellness, she was introduced to Fullerton Health by her colleague and friend, Carmie De Leon. “Upon learning about it, my husband and I were excited because we wanted to see if we were really looking after ourselves properly,” Bustamante said, adding that her first executive check-up exceeded all expectations.
Through Fullerton’s comprehensive executive check-up, Bustamante and her husband gained valuable insights into her health — all of this consolidated into one detailed report and thoroughly explained by its doctors. These results served as a guide to her wellness journey, helping her make the necessary lifestyle adjustments.
“Fullerton doesn’t just give you test results, they guide you on what to improve and maintain,” Bustamante said. “It’s not just about diagnosing problems but about taking control of your health before issues arise.”
More than just an executive check-up, her experience with Fullerton Health reinforced her belief that preventive care is the best care. Now, she eagerly anticipates her annual check-ups, seeing them not as a task, but as an essential step in her journey to a healthier, more empowered life.
