Her journey to prioritizing wellness began with a moment that changed everything.
In 2005, at just 38 years old, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and only given six months to live.
The news was devastating.
"I was paralyzed, I couldn't function. It was the biggest turning point of my life," she recalled.
Against all odds, Bustamante survived but the experience left a lasting impact, reshaping her entire perspective on health.
She knew that while she had achieved great success, maintaining her well-being was just as important as building her career.
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, who happens to be Radlink Philippines' country general manager and EHS lead.
Through Fullerton's comprehensive executive check-up, Bustamante, along with her husband, gained valuable insights into her health – all consolidated into one detailed report and thoroughly explained by Fullerton Health's doctors.
She shared how her experience with Fullerton Health made her realize the importance of treasuring time with family.
"If you love your family, you owe it to them to stay healthy. You don't want to be a burden. Instead, you want to be present for your children and grandchildren," she emphasized.
She now 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.
