pero nag-inusara ang matawag natong kapamilya.

Some says, 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.

Ug dili na nato padugayon pa. Tonight calls for a grand celebration

18 CANDLES

(PICTURE TAKING)

: Thank you so much everyone for your moving, uplifting and

heartwarming messages for our dear debutante. And now moving
on, we have now come to the part of our program that the guys
have been waiting for. A chance to hold the hand of our lovely
debutante for a short dance.

And, a little trivia, the 18 roses symbolizes (name of debutant) in

her 18 years and the gentlemen symbolizes as her protectors,
knight in shining armor, guardian angel or what other terms you
may call. These gentlemen will protect (name of debutant) from
any harm or sadness. Each gentleman, after giving her a rose will
dance while we read their message to (name of debutant) Let us
start with:

18 ROSES

There you go ladies and gentlemen! And to complete the 18 roses,

the last dance is of course reserved for the very special man in
(name of debutant) life. Her motivator, supporter, armor, and
treasure. With him, she knows that she will be safe, she will be
happy. Ladies and gentlemen, let us all give a round of applause to
the father, Mr. ___ together with our lovely debutante for their
Father and Daughter Dance!

(PICTURE TAKING)

Thank you so much Mr.________ . 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. 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.

: Indeed you are now a lady (name of debutant) you are in the legal
age so 18 toasts will be offered to congratulate the debutante for
reaching this milestone in her life. Every toast means a warm wish
for a promising future ahead.  It’s a way of appreciating and
honoring her humble presence in the lives of those people who in
any way touched her heart and have been significant part of her
life.

And now for the 18 toasts, may we invite (18 people) to be here in
front.
Everyone hold your goblet and let us all greet (name of debutant) a
HAPPY BIRTHDAY as we toast.
(CHEERS)

Thank you everyone. You make take your seats.

So from the 18 candles to the 18 roses and 18 toasts, of course,

wishes and greetings from the debutante’s family and friends will
be very important because as what Willa Cather said, “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.

So tonight ladies and gentlemen we will be approaching (name of

debutant) family and friends to give their wishes and greetings as
she reached the age of maturity.

(WISHES)
Wow what wonderful wishes we have heard. Evidently our dear
debutante was growing with a very lovely and supportive people.

everybody to please stand and let us all sing our traditional Happy
Birthday Song to our lovely debutante.
