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. So let us not keep
them waiting. Ladies and gentlemen, the 18 roses with our beautiful

1. Berney Danduan 10. Jomari Bulasa

2. Jay Mar Tigley 11. Salvador Villamor

most loving guy in her life. To dance with our celebrant, Princess 18 th rose,
ladies and gentlemen, her father Mr.:

18. Ronnie Bulasa

(In the middle of the father and daughter dance) The father and daughter
dance are 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.

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
Message from
 overwhelming thank you. And this celebration will not be complete without
hearing any message from the birthday celebrant. So let us give this time
for Princess to express her gratitude for all of us. Rounds of applause
Princess
everyone.

(Princess will give her message.)

Thank you, Princess, for that heartfelt message of gratitude.

Now, ladies and gentlemen. Although we cannot tell what can happen to our
lives, but our gathering has shown us a collective agreement that we shall
all be ready to help her and to pray with her in her life’s journey.

While she has turned 18, we shall look forward to form stronger bonds of
friendship and of family love and care only all of us here can share with
Princess.

We’ve seen great things transpire this evening. We’ve seen the art of
Outro presentation go through its magnificence.

And with that our program has officially concluded. We would like to thank
all of you guys who have made this momentous night a success and also
for making it to this wonderful celebration of Princess Irene's 18th birthday.
Happy 18th birthday again Princess and for the guest enjoy the rest of the
