  If the world is working against you and you feel like you terribly need a break from work and other things that stress you out while giving yourself that much-needed makeover and pampering, perhaps these amazing holiday packages can help. Manila Bulletin delivers the goods:

  Asians and other foreigners looking to get that executive check-up or cosmetic procedure in the Philippines will get another incentive after their medical treatment: A holiday of their choice at popular tourist destinations like Palawan, Boracay and Cebu.

  Looks great for a vacation and a makeover treat rolled into one. And considering that these packages come in very affordable prices, you're in for one of the greatest deals of your life.

  There are four holiday packages offered by the Medical Tourism Program of the Philippine Department of Tourism. These include: "Wellness and health holiday" package that is designed to promote preventive medicine among businessmen and executives; "Beauty holiday" package suited for patients undergoing cosmetic surgery while on vacation; "Vision Plus holiday" designed for patients seeking eye treatment; and "Smile holidays" fit for patients who need dental treatments such as dental implants, crowns, and veneers.

  It does help a lot to take some days off the daily grind. And if you get something more out of the regular holiday treats, such as getting a rhinoplasty or a boob job while enjoying the sights and sounds of various tourist destinations, then that's a vacation treat you shouldn't be missing out.
