On Instagram, the Sparkle star shared a video compilation of Isabella, featuring her ultrasound photos, her birth, baptism, and clips of their bonding moments as family.
In his post, Rodjun wrote that Isabella was their answered prayer.
"Thank you for bringing so much joy and love into our lives. Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure! Words cannot express how much you mean to me," he said.
He also promised to always guide, protect, and take care of her.
"Your mommy, kuya Joaquin and I are so blessed to have you in our lives. We love you so much forever!"
Dianne also shared a separate video compilation of their moments with Isabella on her Instagram account.
According to Dianne, watching Isabella grow in the past year has brought her so much happiness.
"I pray that you grow up surrounded by love, guided by faith, and filled with happiness. Always remember that Mommy and Daddy love you more than words can ever say. You are our answered prayer, our miracle, our sunshine," she said.
Rodjun and Dianne tied the knot in 2019. They welcomed their firstborn, a son named Joaquin, in 2020, and Isabella in July 2024. She was baptized last December.

Emre warns Amihan, Ybrahim about escaping Devas
Amihan (Kylie Padilla) and Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid) dared to defy Emre in a desperate attempt to return to Encantadia and help fight the darkness brought by Mitena (Rhian Ramos). On Tuesday's episode, the couple was shown embracing Lira (Mikee Quintos) and Mira (Kate Valdez) upon their arrival in Devas. Amihan tearfully apologized for not being able to protect them, highlighting the growing feeling of helplessness among the former leaders. Despite their sorrow, Amihan and Ybrahim pressed on and asked Emre to allow them to return to Encantadia to face Mitena. But Emre stood firm and said, "Hindi lahat ng sugat ay dapat agad lapatan ng lunas." Frustrated, Amihan made her intentions clear. "Kung hindi n'yo kami papayagan, mahal na Emre, kusa na lamang kaming aalis. Hindi n'yo kami maaaring pigilan sa pagtulong namin sa aming nasasakupan," she said. But just as they prepared to leave, an earthquake struck Devas. From the cracks emerged terrifying smoke-like beasts, ruthless creatures under Emre's command. "Kung lilisanin ninyo ang Devas nang hindi ko pinahihintulutan, hahabulin kayo at dadakpin ng mga halimaw na 'yan at doon sa Balaak (hell) nila kayo dadalhin," Emre warned. Gaiea (Cassy Lavarias), unseen, witnessed the confrontation and Emre's chilling threat. Later, Lira urged her parents not to defy Emre, fearing they'd be separated again. But Amihan, now more determined than ever, likened Devas to a prison and vowed to reclaim her bugna (destiny) just to save Encantadia even if it meant breaking divine law. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
