------SIGNIFICANCE OF 7TH BIRTHDAY-----
Why do we celebrate 7th birthday just like debuts? actually, I’m not really certain of my idea; so, I did a
research for that and saw these possible reasons.

1. Seven years is the time when a baby is "no longer a baby" and passes to boyhood/girlhood? Same
way a girl becomes a woman on her 18th birthday and a boy becomes a man on his 21st birthday
2. Seven years of age is a milestone when we enter the elementary grades. But with K+12, there's the
mandatory kindergarten so this should be lowered to 6? :P
3. It's a tradition even during the Spanish times though there's no primary source for this one when the
tradition started and where it began.
4. It's based on the Bible; the biblical tradition that the number seven signifies completeness or
perfection. You know there were seven days of creation (Genesis), the seven cattle in the dreams of the
Pharaoh, the seven branches of the menorah (the lamp stand inside the tabernacle), the seven plaids of
Samson's locks, seven devils of Mary Magdalene, seven deadly sins… and whole lot more!
-But with Dominic? Seventh birthday is an expression of love and support by her family, most especially by
his beloved parents who makes sure this day he is LOVED.
- Everyone, Let us all rise for the entrance.
(Play Music: instrumental)
- And now, Today June 12,2020, despite all odds, He proves that his day RULES.
- COVID 19 cannot stop him to transform into a furious 7 year old Boy ‘cause he is going to rock the
house! Ladies and Gentlemen the Bumble of Pototan, DOMINIC CHUA! Around of applause please!
- Please take your seat.
