Candid Shot: Dr. Risa Caldoza-De Leon

-


Dr. Risa Caldoza-De Leon, owner of Vanity Skin Aesthetics Dermatology Clinic, is set to crown her successor at the Mrs. Tourism International 2018 beauty pageant in Dapitan City on Oct. 20. But she confirms that it is not the end of her stint in pageants.

“After I turnover my crown, siguro quiet life first. And then bonding with my kids kasi the past two years have been very hectic. In 2020, I have to talk to Ovette (Ricalde) again. I might (join). For the last time na lang,” says the inspiring doctor-beauty queen.


Risa, 47, has also been encouraged by her friends to join politics because of her charisma and kind-heart. But she says she's not born to rule the crazy world of politics.

"I love politics but I don't want to be a politician. I’d rather help people and I don’t have to be in a position to do that. I still do medical missions in Pasay City and other programs," she says.

Asked what makes her aesthetics clinic centers of the popular clinics in the country, Risa says: "I believe that I have to walk my talk. So if I espouse beauty, I have to look that way also."
