Entrance of Family

HOST: Tonight, is a celebration of adulthood and a thanksgiving of the life God has given to our lovely
celebrant. Let us put our hands together, as we welcome the main highlight of this celebration, and
as she stepped into a higher level of life, ladies and gentlemen, our debutant, BEA THERESA ALAGOS.

Grand Entrance of Debutant

HOST: Wow, blooming and lovely, indeed! Saan nga ba siya nagmana? Kay Mama ba? Or kay Papa? Or
baka both? Evidently, before tonight, Bea has had happy years in a very happy home. The love of a
family will always be God’s greatest blessing. Sabi nga nila, in life we can have several friends,
classmates, and social circles, but there is only one family who is always willing and ready to
welcome us no matter what. Ladies and gentlemen, to answer the question kung saan nga ba
nagmana si Bea, here’s Mama Zosima Alagos to welcome all of us to their lovely daughter’s 18th
birthday party.

Welcome Remarks – MAMA

Invocation

HOST: To fill the room with music while we are having our Party, we will be serenaded by Villa Amor
Music Band.

Dinner

HOST: Ladies and gentlemen, that was Villa Amor Music Band. Tonight is definitely filled with a
bundle of surprises for our dear Bea. At this point of time, let us welcome on stage the First Dance of
our debutant together with her beloved father, Mr. Thelmo Alagos! Around of applause.
HOST: (In the middle of the father and daughter dance) The father and daughter dance is probably
one of the most loved traditions in any Filipino debut celebration. This signifies the daughter’s first
step to womanhood and the father’s acceptance of this period in his daughter’s life.

End of Dance
HOST: Like a pretty flower that attracts bees and butterflies, Bea will be surrounded by 18 equally
handsome gentlemen who will represent the debutant’s 18 Roses one of our debutants favorite
flower. Starting off with:

18 Roses Dance
(Refer to the Program)

HOST: Thank you, Villa Amor Music Band for filling the room with music and for jazzing up this party
with your playlist! Are you guys, still with me? More party-party later with Villa Amor Music Band.
They say, memories are ways to hold on to the things that we love, and to the things that we don’t
want to lose. Sabi nga ni mareng Cynthia Ozick: “What we remember from childhood, we remember
forever.” Tonight we have selected people who will give their bears and share with us her
unforgettable memory with our lovely debutant. Bea, are you ready for the bukingan time?

Host to call names one by one and maybe do ad-libs after every story.

14 Bears Presentation

(Refer to the program)

HOST: All of you who are here tonight are closest to Bea. Sabi nga nila, friendship is a million little
things. This time, I’d like to ask Bea’s dear friends this question: “What is that one word that best
describes our debutant, and why?”

Bea to change wardrobe in preparation for the dance number

HOST: Earlier, we were serenaded by the very talented Villa Amor Music Band. At this moment, are
we ready to move and groove? I can’t here you, are we ready to move and groove? Ladies and
gentlemen, here’s a dance number from our debutant herself! Let’s put our hands together for Bea
and friends!

Bea and Friends – Dance Number

(Ad-lib on the dance number.)

HOST: Matapos tayong pakiligin ng Villa Amor Music Band at napasayaw with Bea and friends, let’s
do some ice breaker! Let’s call this “How well do you know Bea?” Gaano niyo nga ba kakilala ang
ating lovely debutant? I have with me a list of trivia or questions about tonight’s fine lady. The
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 Bea 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. From the shared memories to a game trivia, Bea has shared a part
of her growing years with all of us. 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 Bea’s heart, representing the mother candle that will be a source of light for all the well-wishers
for our dear Bea, here’s Mama Zosima Alagos.

18 Candles and Treasures Presentation

(Refer to the Program)

HOST: Many ancient cultures believed that smoke carried their prayers to the heavens. So, at the
count of three, Mommy Zosing 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 Bea 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.

Cutting of the Cakes

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, Bea. I’m giving the
floor to our dear debutant to give her message for all of us.

Thank you message from Bea

HOST: For us to take our dinner may we have Ms. Kristine Gastala to give us the prayer before meal.

Prayer before meal.

Dining

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,
Bea! naman diyan. At the count of three…1, 2, 3, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEA! 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
BEA with the Villa Amor Music Band! This is your host, ___________________, enjoy the rest of the
night everyone!

Bea opens the party by a song number with Villa Amor Music Band.

THE END.
