HOST: Seems like our gorgeous debutant really enjoyed tonight. From the shared
memories to a game trivia, Cham 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 Cham’s heart, representing the mother candle that
will be a source of light for all the well-wishers for our dear Cham, here’s Mommy Cynthia
Lagua!
              18 CABDLES
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 Cham 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!
