Taking to her verified Instagram account @missizacalzado, the actress uploaded an endearing video reel documenting Deia’s preparation and big moment at the G-Force Sembreak 2026 recital—a clip that quickly went viral among fans and parents.

Opening her caption with infectious excitement, Iza admitted she may have been the happiest mom in the venue:

"EXCITED!!! 🤩 That was the word of the day! And truly, the energy of this entire experience! Deia’s first stage performance was such a special milestone, not just for her, but perhaps even more so for us, her family. And yes, I was probably the most ecstatic and emotional of all! Pagbigyan niyo na ako! 🥺💗"

The video showed Deia sitting happily in a makeup chair wearing a red G-Force Dance Center jersey, getting her hair braided by hairstylist Mantra Tan and sparkling crystal gems applied near her eyes by her ninong and makeup artist Mike Lariosa.

After proudly showing off her look to her dad, Ben Wintle, Deia practiced her choreography in the bedroom before heading to the theater.

Recalling every detail of the day, Iza wrote: "From watching Deia get all kilig in the makeup chair, to seeing her practice her moves while we were getting dressed, to making our way to the venue, waiting for her turn, and finally stepping onstage with so much confidence and joy. Every little moment had me smiling from ear to ear..."

For Iza, seeing Deia light up onstage carried deep family meaning, connecting her own childhood memories of her late father, Lito Calzado, to her life now as a mother:

"You see, watching her face light up as she moves to the beat of the music is something I had prayed for. Dancing was one of the greatest gifts my father gave me, and now, one of the most beautiful gifts I get to pass on to her. I hope she carries this love for dancing in her heart as she grows, and that it will always be something that connects her to us, her family. 💗"
