Beauty queen-philanthropist  Dr. Rizaline "Riza"  Oben-Dormiendo may have retired from her job as CEO in the corporate world, but she continues to be  unfailing in her quest to be a woman of  substance and achieve great things for her fellowmen. 

On Sept. 23, the multi-talented Riza - who was crowned Mrs. Face of Beauty International 2019 -  will be formally installed as the President of the Inner Wheel  Club of Muntinlupa Filinvest District 383. Riza, together with her 20 members, will be inducted by District 383 Chairman  Annalie Bolinao and  initiated by Past District Chairman Prof. Alice Lucas.   

The event will be held at Brittany Hotel in BGC and coincides with the club's 15th Charter anniversary. Expected at the ceremonies are Inner Wheel Club of the Philippines National President Sofie Lee, Philippine National Red Cross Secretary General Gwendolyn Pang and Undersecretary Sandy Montano of the Philippine Commission on Women.

Riza has made a name for herself as a socialite and icon in the local fashion scene. She even won a  Best Actress Award  during the fashion film competition of the 2022 Manila International Fashion Week. Despite the glitz and glamor of the world she revolves in, Riza never forgets the advice instilled in her by her parents to always be socially relevant. That is why she considers her top position at the  Inner Wheel  Club of Muntinlupa Filinvest as another avenue to be of service to others.

"It has been barely two months since I was chosen as the President of Inner Wheel Club of Muntinlupa Filinvest, but we have already engaged in a flurry of socio-civic activities. We even crossed a river to distribute relief goods. It's very tiring, but it's all worth it," Riza pointed out. 

There's a variety of hats she wears as a multi-awarded socio-civic leader. One week, Riza  is attending a feeding program for hungry kids and on another day, she's distributing school supplies to students. The beauteous philanthropist is a strong advocate for animal welfare and being an entrepreneur, she also pushes for giving alternative livelihood to families who need them the most.

"I believe in what Mother Teresa said that ' it's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.'I hope this will guide me as I carry out my role as Club President for 2023-2024," she remarked.

Aside from Riza, the roster of officers of Inner Wheel Club of Muntinlupa Filinvest are the following: Immediate Past President Rizabeth Angcahan, Vice-President Annabella Pablo, Club Secretary Merle Bermudo Bisona, Treasurer Ghie Sahban, PCT Elsa Chung, Past President Beth Wu. International Service Officer Fe Habig, Club Editor Ezel John,  Leny  Tamondong and Maryann Legarda.
