Rebecca Bustamante, CEO of Asia CEO Events, is a powerhouse in the Philippine business landscape. As an inspirational keynote speaker and organizer of the country’s largest business forums and summits, she has played a vital role in empowering professionals to take charge of their careers and pave their own paths to success.
More than just a leader in business, Bustamante embodies what it truly means to be an empowered woman—one who uplifts others while driving meaningful change. However, beyond her professional achievements, she understands that true empowerment begins with prioritizing one’s health. For her, partnering with Fullerton Health has been a crucial step in maintaining her well-being and ensuring she can continue to lead with purpose.
A Wake-Up Call to Prioritize Health
Bustamante’s commitment to wellness began with a life-altering moment. In 2005, at just 38 years old, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given only six months to live. The devastating news left her paralyzed with fear.
“I was in shock. I couldn’t function,” she recalls. “It was the biggest turning point of my life.”
Defying the odds, Bustamante survived—but the experience completely shifted her outlook on health. She realized that success is meaningless if one’s well-being is compromised. That wake-up call ignited her dedication to proactive healthcare and preventive measures, ensuring that health remained a top priority alongside her career.
Discovering Fullerton Health
Determined to take charge of her well-being, Bustamante sought a healthcare provider that aligned with her long-term wellness goals. Through her colleague and friend, Carmie De Leon, Country General Manager and EHS Lead at Radlink Philippines, she was introduced to Fullerton Health, a leading healthcare platform in Asia renowned for its enterprise healthcare solutions.
“Upon learning about it, my husband and I were excited to experience Fullerton Health and assess if we were truly taking care of ourselves,” Bustamante shares. Her first executive check-up with Fullerton exceeded all expectations.
“It’s a five-star experience,” she says. “We didn’t have to wait all day for our results. Fullerton Health is efficient, personalized, and thorough. In just three hours, we completed a full-body assessment—it felt like a business-class health experience.”
Taking Control of Her Health
Fullerton Health’s executive check-up provided Bustamante and her husband with invaluable insights into their well-being. The comprehensive assessment, consolidated into a detailed report, was thoroughly explained by Fullerton’s medical professionals, guiding them on necessary lifestyle adjustments.
“Fullerton doesn’t just give you test results—they help you understand how to improve and maintain your health,” Bustamante explains. “It’s not just about detecting issues; it’s about taking control before problems arise.”
She also highlights the efficiency and convenience of Fullerton’s services, which allow her to focus on making meaningful lifestyle changes while managing her responsibilities as a CEO and mother. The experience reinforced her belief in treasuring time with loved ones.
“If you love your family, you owe it to them to stay healthy. You don’t want to be a burden—you want to be present for your children and grandchildren,” she emphasizes.
When asked what advice she would give to others looking to prioritize their health, she says: “Don’t wait for a wake-up call. Your health is your greatest investment. Fullerton Health has given me clarity, confidence, and control over my well-being—and that’s priceless.”
A Commitment to a Healthier Future
Through Fullerton Health, Bustamante demonstrates that true success starts with self-care. Her journey underscores how prioritizing health can lead to a fuller, more empowered life.
More than just an executive check-up, her experience with Fullerton Health solidified her belief that preventive care is the best care. Now, she looks forward to her annual check-ups—not as a chore, but as an essential step in her ongoing journey toward health and empowerment.
