BELO Medical Group welcomes multi-talented actor/director/model Dingdong Dantes as the newest addition to its powerhouse stable of celebrity endorsers.

Dingdong's grand launch coincided with his birthday bash, which had a James Bond theme, held at the NBC Tent at The Fort.

Dingdong's Casino Royale-inspired party was complete with gaming tables, guns on display, sexy ladies and even a Martini bar that James Bond is known for - "shaken not stirred."

An AVP produced by Infinite Ideas showed the actor in his Agent 007 character, driving a shiny Audi R8, brandishing slick hand guns, sporting an Omega chronograph watch, surfing the net in a MacBook-Pro laptop, using the latest cellphone gadget and getting in the thick of hard-core action.

Bayon Alcoseba of Peppermill Catering displayed his expertise in preparing sumptuous food in stylized, buffet setting. Serving as the centerpiece of the table arrangements is a waterfall of diamonds to complement the James Bond concept.

Guests indulged in mouth-watering appetizers consisting of baked whole salmon entrusted in salt and herbs, grilled shrimp shooters with chipotle butter sauce, beef tacos parmigiana, chicken burrito wrap, mini-pancakes with smoked tanguigue and cream cheese. Grapes salad with Cervelat sausage was also on the buffet table.

Main course consists of baked dory herbs and spices, shrimp tamales, Argentina pork loin with apricot sauce, tequila lime chicken with pineapple salsa, fettuccine cream pesto with smoked chicken and steamed rice.

For the carving station, there was roasted calf; and for desserts, there were fresh fruits with chantilly cream, pistachio opera cake, yoghurt gazpacho shooters and hot fudge brownies.

An actor of Dingdong's stature certainly deserved the grand welcome from leading cosmetic surgeon and "Doctor to the Stars," Vicki Belo, who is pleased to add him to Belo's growing roster of celebrity endorsers.

As Belo's newest signature model, Dingdong will endorse Belo-Shape, a special and unique combination of treatments to tighten skin and remove fat. The non-invasive body-shaping procedure can yield faster and visible results with far less effort.

Dingdong used to have stubborn love handles which he couldn't get rid of despite rigid workouts in the gym. But thanks to Belo-Shape, the actor became the highest paid underwear model and was voted as the No. 1 Bachelor of 2007 of Cosmopolitan Magazine.

Dingdong became the "Prince of Philippine Telenovela" when he starred as Carlos Miguel in "Sana ay Ikaw Na Nga," one of the most popular primetime dramas of GMA 7 where he was paired with Tanya Garcia.

He also excelled in the movies opposite prime leading ladies such as Jolina Magdangal, Rica Peralejo and Judy Anne Santos. He was also invited to host a number of beauty pageants and TV shows which includes "Binibining Pilipinas," "SOP" and "Starstruck."

In 2005, Dingdong became popular with the kids and adults alike as King Ybrahim in the fantasy-themed series, "Encantadia," where he was paired with Karylle. That same year, he hosted the afternoon horror show "'Wag Kukurap," where he also acted as the director in a number of episodes.

In 2006, he was paired with Iza Calzado in two blockbuster movies - "Moments of Love" and "Eternity." He had a primetime comeback when he played the lead role as Aquano in the fantaserye, "Atlantika."

Dingdong became phenomenal last year when he portrayed the role of Sergio in the Philippine remake of "Marimar" opposite Marian Rivera.
