Iza Calzado cheers as Ben Wintle sings "Bahay Kubo" to Deia
Entertaining a child is one thing, but when it involves a Filipino folk song, the experience reaches a whole new level.
IZA SHARES BEN'S AMUSING 'BAHAY KUBO' RENDITION
On Saturday evening, June 15, 2024, actress Iza Calzado delighted her followers by sharing an amusing TikTok video of her husband, Ben Wintle, singing the popular Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" to their first daughter, Deia Amihan.
Unlike the typical sing-along sessions with children’s songs, the British entrepreneur chose to incorporate props—the actual fruits and vegetables mentioned in the song—adding a delightful twist to his little performance.
When he encountered a humorous hiccup due to the absence of bataw and patani in his props, he cleverly improvised by presenting digital representations.
Even a momentary lapse in memory couldn’t dampen Ben’s spirit.
With a sweet smile, he managed to conclude the performance by playfully tossing linga, which he jokingly called "langgam."

The 41-year-old celebrity mom couldn’t help but appreciate Ben’s heartfelt efforts.
She took the opportunity to wish him an advance Happy Father’s Day, acknowledging his multifaceted role as a loving father, devoted husband, and entertainer.
Her caption reads (published as is), "Thank you for all that you do for the family! This, of course, includes learning Filipino folk songs to educate and entertain your child.
"May you feel loved and valued as a father, husband, man and entertainer in our home and beyond, today and always! [Emojis] An advanced Happy Father's Day! [Emoji]."
Teasing her husband, she added, "PS. Thanks for wearing a shirt for this video [emoji]."

IZA CALZADO AND BEN WINTLE'S LOVE STORY: A BACKTRACK
More than a year after their engagement, Iza and Ben tied the knot on December 19, 2018, at Club Paradise in Coron, Palawan.
Their beach wedding was attended by notable celebrity guests, including Iza’s Encantadia co-stars Sunshine Dizon, Karylle, and Diana Zubiri; Judy Ann Santos with husband Ryan Agoncillio; Ogie Alcasid; and Scarlet Snow Belo with parents, Dr. Hayden Kho Jr. and Dra. Vicki Belo.
On January 26, 2023, they welcomed their firstborn child Deia Amihan, named after the actress’ popular character in Encantadia.
Deia’s christening took place at St. Andrew the Apostle Parish Church in Makati City on January 13, 2024, just a few days before her first birthday.
Former Philippine vice president Leni Robredo was among her godparents.
To celebrate Deia’s birthday, the Calzado-Wintle family embraced the spirit of giving back by hosting a party for the girls of Buklod Kalinga orphanage at Mano Amiga Academy in Parañaque City.
Iza expressed her gratitude in an Instagram post on February 20, 2024: "There will be more to come and more things to be grateful for, but for now, we thank the Lord that we can share this big love beyond our little family."
