Now she can literally walk a mile.

Lawyer Charito Planas, 83, used to have a hard time getting up. But she can now walk without pain, thanks to stem cell therapy that cost her only five figures.

While hospitals here and abroad charge millions for the treatment, a wellness center in Tagaytay offers the service 10 times cheaper, Planas said.

The cane I used to walk with is just an accessory now, for I walk freely, without pain, without limping, said Planas, a political and human rights activist who sought refuge in the United States during the Marcos martial law administration.

My heavily grey hair has now regained its ebony shade; my skinboth body and facial skinhas regained a youthful, shining glow; and my wrinkles are slowly fading away, she added.

Planas underwent six sessions of stem cell therapy from March to April at Green and Young Health and Wellness Center, owned by Dr. Antonia Carandang Park.

Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo reportedly visited the Filipino physician a day after she was released from detention at Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) in Quezon City after posting a P1-million bail in July last year. She was taken back to VMMC in October.

Other well-known personalities, such as justices, physicians and a senator, also reportedly frequented the wellness center.
