Lance: Good evening everyone! Welcome to The Bellavista Hotel Lapu-Lapu City! Welcome to
a night of pastel colors in celebration of a wonderful life for a girl who is now turning into a fine
lady. All of you who are here tonight have watched her grow over the years into the wonderful
person she is now. As a jumpstart, let us all welcome and acknowledge the ever supportive and
loving family of our debutant:

Viola: Without them, her life would be empty and unhappy. Let us all give a big round of
applause to honor all the people whom she truly loved. Sabi nga, marami tayong mahahanap na
kapuso, pero iisa lang ang ating kapamilya.

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

18 CANDLES and Wishes:

And to continue with the program, To represent Francis’s Circle of Important People of her Life,
let us welcome the following persons who will share their wishes and offer Candles of
Enlightenment which symbolizes friendship. Of course these people will be the ones who will
give her advices and kind words along the way on how to become a perfect woman.
They then each light a candle that symbolizes light—light that will guide Francis on her life
journey. Once all 18 candles have been lit, they are placed on the debutante’s birthday cake
and blown out.

“18 candles will be lit up by 18 of the debutante’s closest friends and relatives. Every candle
symbolizes a year of her existence. Each one will be a visible reminder of Francis’ triumph over

18th birthday marks the end of teenage and the beginning of adulthood. It is a very special day
in every one's life because on this a person cherishes the old moments filled with love, care and
shelter but now the person is moving towards adulthood where she will be loaded with
responsibilities and independence of thought and expression. As the debutante receives her 18
roses let it be a reminder that like the rose life is beautiful,however, there are thorns that signify
that life isn’t that easy for there are problems to be faced. It is up to her how she will handle
these hurdles with the support of her family and friends.
