Khoa Bui and PMCM Events Management have teamed up and created a never before seen event that finally shows you how to lose weight, improve your image, lose belly fat, get toned, healthy cooking, juicing and more.

This was held last February 22, 2014 at the Paragon Plaza Building along EDSA in Mandaluyong and was dubbed as the Ultimate Health and Wellness Summit 2014.

Several speakers led by Khoa Bui shared their expertise and testimonials to the participants in order to spread interests towards embracing good health and a fit lifestyle. Other speakers were pharmacist Gen Blasurca, nutritionist Valerie Ong, commercial model Rence David, Pound for Pound host Rico Robles, Aquabest Marketing Manager Paul Tan, Enzacta Philippines President Rod Brosas, Carino Development Management Corporation Vice President for Marketing and Communications Jhun Que, and IT Expert Rey Tan.

There was also a free Zumba class held in the afternoon. Entertainment were provided by Francis Rae and Dale Guevara.

Michael Christian Martinez, the lone athlete for the Philippines, is an unlikely competitor from a country without snow. Catapulted into the limelight after qualifying last year, his entire home country, which has never won a medal in the Winter Olympics, is rooting for him. Michael finished 19th overall with a total segment score of 64.81 which means he'll move on to Friday's final free skate.

"I'd love to qualify for the free skate [top 24]; that would be a big accomplishment for me," Martinez, 17, said in an interview with NBCOlympics.com prior to the competition. "I don't know what placement I'll get because my training is so different, but we'll see."

It's likely to be a David-versus-Goliath match-up. Facing medal favorites such as Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu and Canada's Patrick Chan, who rank first and second after the short program, Martinez has not benefited from the same intensive training as many of his competitors.
