INTRODUCTION: This afternoon, we are gathered here to witness the transformation of a young
girl into a fine beautiful lady. We are very lucky for we are chosen to be here and be part of this
momentous occasion in the debutant's life. An 18th birthday marks almost the steps from youth to
young adult, with all its relative responsibilities. Let us all celebrate as our girl becomes a full-bloomed
lady today, as our dear Michaela turns 18. Good afternoon everyone! Welcome to a debut party 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 this afternoon have watched her grow over the years into a wonderful person she is now.
A lady of good heart, character and ambition.

At this point, let us all welcome and acknowledge the ever supportive and loving family of our
debutant. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my distinct honor to present to you the family of our celebrant,

Entrance of the Family

Today is a celebration of adulthood and a thanksgiving of the life God has given to our lovely celebrant.
In a land not so far away, there was once a little girl with a beauty of an angel. Born on 29th day April,
year 2003, this girl is the daughter among the children of Mr. Michael and Mrs. Winnie Sagun. She
grew up with so much love and kindness. She is loved by everybody for her beauty inside and out.
Indeed, she has all grown up and what a sight she has become. Let us all stand Ladies and gentlemen,
as I introduce to you the main highlight of this celebration. Let us all welcome our dazzling and lovely
debutant, she is no other than, MS. MICHAELA SAGUN! Please give her a resounding round of
applause!

Beside our beautiful debutant is her ever supportive and loving brother, Mr Ezequil Ace Sagun. Let us
also give him a round of applause!

Grand Entrance of Debutant

HOST: Wow, very blooming and lovely, indeed! You look so stunning with your dress. Saan nga ba
siya nagmana? Kay Mommy ba? Or kay Daddy? Or baka both? Anyway,
HOST: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jerald Lorio, and I am your host for this
event. At this moment, I’d like to request everybody to please remain from standing for our opening
prayer to be led by Edemarie Mirasol. Please all rise!

Opening Prayer

You may now be seated.

Evidently, before tonight, Ella has had happy years in a very happy home. That’s why, 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, at this point, to answer the question kung saan nga ba talaga nagmana si Ella,
here’s Mommy Winnie Sagun to welcome all of us to their lovely daughter’s 18th birthday
celebration. Let’s give her a big, big round of applause!

Welcome Remarks – Mommy Winnie

Thank you very much Mommy Winnie for your very welcoming remarks. Now you know kung bakit
maganda si Ella it is because napakaganda rin ng kaniyang Ina.

HOST: Moving on, 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 nila: “What we remember from childhood, we remember forever.”
This afternoon, we have 18 selected people who will give their treasures and at the same time, share
with us her unforgettable memory with our lovely debutant. I think, everybody is ready for our 18
Treasures. By the way, may I request the persons who will give their treasures to please prepare

HOST: It seems like our gorgeous debutant really enjoying tonight. From the shared memories to a
game trivia, Ella has shared a part of her growing years with all of us. At sabi nga nila, “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 Candles 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 a little girl
dearest to Ella’s heart, representing the candle that will be a source of light for all the well-wishers for
our dear Ella… let’s give it up for.

Second Set of Ice Breaker

Prior to proceeding to the net part of our program, let us now first some interesting facts about our
debutant.

18 ROSES

Like a pretty flower that attracts bees and butterflies, Ella will be surrounded by 18 equally handsome
gentlemen who will represent the debutant’s 18 roses. This flowers equates the traditional 18 roses
during debuts. But before that, as requested by our debutant, let’s have a twist, please listen carefully,
the 18 roses will give their short message right after they dance with the celebrant.

Moving on, 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. I think the band is now ready. . . music please

End of Dance

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 Ella will blow the candles on her birthday cake. And to complete that
customary practice, let us all stand and 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, Ella. I’m giving the floor to
our dear debutant to give her message for all of us.

Thank you message from Ella

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,
Ella! naman diyan. At the count of three…1, 2, 3, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELLA! Our debutant is not
just a pretty face but also a very talented lady. This is your host, Jerald Lorio, now signing off! Thank
you very much everyone! Enjoy the rest of the night! To get the party started, throw your hands up in
the air for with the Band!
