Ryzza Mae de Guzman Dizon (Tagalog: [ˈrɐjsa meɪ ˈdɪsɔn]; born June 12, 2005) is a Filipino teen actress and television personality. She rose to prominence in 2012 when she won that year's edition of Eat Bulaga!'s Little Miss Philippines.^[1] She is currently the second youngest host in the variety show E.A.T.

Career

In 2012, Dizon auditioned for the title of Little Miss Philippines. She was eliminated, but was called back to compete again for a wild card round.^[2] After returning to the competition, she went on to win, and was crowned as Little Miss Philippines 2012. Her win marked the start of her career in the Philippine showbiz industry. She is formerly one of the hosts of Eat Bulaga!, a noontime variety show in the Philippines.

Dizon is also part of the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival entry film Si Agimat, si Enteng Kabisote at si Ako where she played a dwarf.^[3][4]

The biographical story of Dizon was featured in the weekly anthology Magpakailanman.^[5][6] The episode focused on the life of Dizon prior to her career as a child actress. The episode garnered 26.7% audience share versus its rival show Maalaala Mo Kaya which garnered 20.9%.^[7][8]

In 2013, Dizon co-starred in Vampire ang Daddy Ko, marking her first major sitcom role after her appearance in Tweets for My Sweet in 2012.^[9][10][11]

On April 1, 2013, during a live airing of Eat Bulaga! in the segment "Juan for All, All for Juan: Bayanihan of D' Pipol", Vic Sotto announced that Dizon will have her own talk show entitled The Ryzza Mae Show, which first aired on April 8, 2013.^[12]

In September 2013, two separate incidents^[13] involving Dizon prompted the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to call a mandatory conference^[14] to explain “scenes allegedly insensitive and unfriendly to children,” in the programs Eat Bulaga! and The Ryzza Mae Show. The board deemed that the incidents “palpably violate the dignity of the child.”^[15] Following the conference, the MTRCB stated that broadcaster GMA Network and producer TAPE, Inc. has acknowledged lapses in the scenes of concern and representatives have reached an agreement with the board to cooperate and set guidelines in protecting Dizon on her own talk show and in the noontime variety show.^[16][17]

On December 25, 2013, Dizon appeared alongside James "Bimby" Aquino-Yap, Kris Aquino and Vic Sotto in My Little Bossings. In spite of criticism directed at the plot and its use of product placement,^[18] the film was a financial success at the 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival, earning first place at the box office. My Little Bossings was later followed by the fantasy-action anthology film My Big Bossing alongside Vic Sotto and Marian Rivera in December 2014.

In 2015, Dizon played the lead role in the comedy-drama series Princess in the Palace produced by TAPE, Inc. together with Aiza Seguerra and Eula Valdez, also starring Boots Anson-Roa, Ciara Sotto, Marc Abaya, and Joey Paras. This also marked Dizon's first starring role in a teleserye. Princess in the Palace was later replaced by Calle Siete, of which Dizon also starred in.

On May 31, 2023, Dizon—along with other co-hosts and staff of Eat Bulaga!—filed their resignation soon after the show's main hosts, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, announced their exit from the show's producer, TAPE Incorporated, on the same day.^[19] Meanwhile, it was migrated on the rival network, TV5 for their own program, E.A.T.
