At a very young age (toddler days, in fact), Gabriela Annjane U. Cruz, more known to her beloved fans as Ella Cruz (Or Iela to her relatives and close friends), have never been afraid nor shy of the flickering flashes of the camera. In fact, at the age of two, she was always their family's front liner when it comes to producing home movies.
Prior to her well-known participation in Eat Bulaga's Little Miss Philippines, Ella, along with her cousins and her older sister loved to sing as well as dance during various family events, holidays. This was also due to overwhelming requests not only from Ella's family but also from other acquaintances who grew fond of Ella's wit and certain panache.
Though she didn't win at the semifinals of Little Miss Philippines, thanks to her charm and sensitivity, she was still able to win the hearts of many televiewers as well as the staff of Eat Bulaga, who later placed her and her sister at Nadine Samonte and Oyo Boy Sotto's afternoon teleserye, "Ikaw Sa Puso Ko" as one of the orphans where Nadine's character stays . After her random and various appearances at TV, she participated at Dunkin Donut's annual pageant for young boys and girls, where she won not only in their district, nor in the entire province of Bulacan, but also in the entire nationwide search as well.
