Ito ang progresibong paniniwala ni Iza Calzado matapos matanong kung balak ba nitong maglunsad ng gender reveal celebration na patok lalo na sa celebrity parents.
Agad na pagtama ng “K-Love” star sa kamakailang press conference, “Sorry, it’s sex reveal. Gender is an expression, and we cannot reveal it.”
Aniya pa, aksidente na umano nilang nalaman ng asawang si Ben Wintle ang sex ng kaniyang upcoming baby.
“We already found out sex accidentally, so that takes out the point of a reveal for us, the parents. I see how this surprise can make other parents excited, and I appreciate and see the value in that. I have been to some sex or gender reveal parties, and it’s filled with so much joy and love!” pagbabahagi ng unang Darna sa isang panayam ng Preview magazine kamakailan.
Dagdag ng aktres, ang gender ay isang “social and cultural construct” kaya’t mas pipiliin umano niyang i-highlight ang maayos na kalusugan ng kaniyang baby.
“From an economic standpoint, I think another party that we have to spend on does not make sense to me, personally, as all our efforts should and must focus on the baby’s birth and first few months and years,” praktikal na saad ng aktres.
Gayunpaman, naniniwala rin si Iza na isang personal choice ang paglulunsad ng kagayang parties.
“Please do what you think is best for you and your child. By all means, throw a reveal if it will make your family and loved ones happy by coming together for that joyful moment,” paghihikayat ng aktres bagaman payo niya ring huwag ma-pressure sa nakasanayang tradisyon.
“Your journey to parenthood is uniquely yours. Celebrate it! Enjoy it!" pagtatapos niya.
At 40, matatandaang sinurpresa ng aktres ang fans at followers sa kaniyang “unexpected” na pagbubuntis.
“They were right. Life does begin at 40. Simply put, your life begins as your mother turns forty. To know that life is growing inside me is great miracle. You are my miracle. You are my guiding light,” aniya noong Agosto.
Ang paparating na baby ni Iza ang unang supling nila ng negosyanteng si Ben, apat na taon matapos silang ikasal noong 2018.
