"Aling Maliit" is all grown up.
Ryzza Mae Dizon, the former child star who danced her way into Filipino hearts with the viral Cha-Cha dance and her cheeky wit on Eat Bulaga!, has just wrapped up a major milestone: her senior high school graduation.
Before June drew to a close, the 20-year-old TV personality proudly announced her achievement in a Facebook post that read: "Graduated from Senior High School!!! Thank you Lord [praying hands emoji] Thank you po FEU High School at sa aking mga teachers [emojis]"
Ryzza completed her studies at Far Eastern University (FEU) High School, where she enrolled in 2024 after taking a brief academic break following her junior high graduation from Eton International School.

To mark the occasion, she also uploaded a vlog titled “MY GRADUATION PREPARATION VLOG!” on June 30, 2025.
The video showed a candid, behind-the-scenes look at her last-minute preparations alongside her mother, Rizza, and older sister, Nicole.
In true Ryzza fashion, the vlog was filled with sweet, funny, and unscripted moments: from nail appointments to checking into their hotel near SMX, where the graduation rites were held.
“Nails check!” she chirped as she showed off her freshly cleaned nails.
“Kasama ko po si Princess Nicole!” she beamed, turning the camera to her sister.
The three stayed overnight before the ceremony and even gave viewers a room tour.
The morning of the graduation, Ryzza—still half asleep—was teased lovingly by her family.
“Congratulations!” they said while poking fun at her groggy state. “Ang kulit mo!” her mom laughed as she tried to get ready.
The joy extended to Instagram, where Ryzza's mother proudly shared a photo of her daughter in a green toga, holding an envelope with her diploma.
The caption read: "Congratulations anak @ryzzamaedizon_ thank you Lord [emojis]"

On September 9, 2024, Ryzza took to Facebook to share snaps from her first day at FEU High School.
Dressed in uniform and surrounded by new classmates, Ryzza captioned her post with, “My first day as a Tamaraw girly! turuuuy [emoji],” embracing her school spirit right out the gate.
That Tamaraw title isn’t just for show. It refers to the school’s fierce buffalo mascot.
The comments quickly filled with encouraging messages from fans and followers wishing her well as she hopped back into academic life.
One netizen remaked, "enjoy FEU!!!Sabi na TAMARAW na i-follow kita eh [emoji]."
Another said, "Best of luck beh! Ryzza Mae Dizon Enjoy and be safe always [heart emojis]."
Someone else advised, "ingat ka palagi lalo ngayong simula ng panibago mong pakikibaka sa buhay."
Ryzza didn’t leave her supporters hanging, thanking them with warm replies.
FEU High School joined in on the love, posting on its official page: "Hi Ryzza Mae Dizon! We’re glad to see you enjoying FEU High School. Welcome in thy happy halls! [emojis]."
It’s worth noting that Ryzza completed junior high at Eton International School in May 2023, graduating among the top three in her batch.
After taking a year-long breather, she stepped into the halls of FEU as a senior high school student.
