you know Cham?” Gaano niyo nga ba kakilala ang ating lovely debutant? I

mechanics is just simple. I will read the trivia and if you know the
answer, stand up from your seat. Alright, let’s keep the ball rolling!
Trivia, trivia, trivia – While Cham changes wardrobe: From hiphop outfit to
cocktail dress
HOST: Grabeh ang bukingan ngayong gabi! Nag enjoy ba tayong lahat?
Seems like our gorgeous debutant really enjoyed tonight. ………………
At sabi nga ni mareng Willa Cather? “Where there is great love, there are
always wishes.” Because birthdays are always new beginnings, new
endeavors with new set of goals, sending birthday messages and
wishes is a tradition especially in our country, where we give high value
to family ties and relationship. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I present
to you these 18 Wishers for our debutant. These are the people close to
the heart of our celebrant, and whom she listens and confides to for
inspiring words and friendly advices. Starting off with the woman
dearest to ________’s heart, representing the mother candle that will be
a source of light for all the well-wishers for our dear ______,
here’s Mommy _______________!

HOST: Many ancient cultures believed that smoke carried their prayers
to the heavens. So, at the count of three, Mommy Cynthia and members
of the 18 Wishes, let’s say “May all our wishes come true” and blow our
candles together. 1, 2, and 3…

Everybody blows the candle

HOST: Let me share another good-to-know trivia to everyone on how

birthday cakes and candles came about as a tradition during birthdays.
Some believe that the tradition of birthday candles began in Ancient
Greece. Putting candles on a cake was a special way to pay tribute to
the Greek moon goddess, Artemis. They baked round cakes to
symbolize the moon. Candles were added to represent the reflected
moonlight. Today’s tradition of making wishes before blowing out
the birthday candles may have started with that belief. Enough of all
those did-you-know trivia because at this part of the program, our lovely
and stunning ________ will blow the candles on her birthday cake. And
to complete that customary practice, let us all sing joyfully a song I am
very sure everybody is familiar with, the happy birthday song!

Debutant makes a wish and blows the candles.

HOST: Tonight’s celebration tells me that the best demonstration of

gratitude in response to a wonderful experience like this one can be
contained in an overwhelming thank you. Maraming salamat po for
making me a part of this memorable occasion. And if there’s one person
here tonight who is more than grateful to see all of you, that would be
our beloved celebrant, Cham. I’m giving the floor to our dear debutant to
give her message for all of us.

Thank you message from Cham

HOST: The night is young, and so are we, diba? Are you ready to party?
We have just actually started. Again, thank you for having me here to
celebrate with all of you. Isang malakas na “Happy birthday, Cham!
naman diyan. At the count of three…1, 2, 3, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHAM!
Our debutant is not just a pretty face but also a very talented lady. To
get the party started, throw your hands up in the air for CHAM with the
City Lights Band! This is your host, John Irene Del Campo, enjoy the
rest of the night everyone!
