17. SINGING OF THE TRADITIONAL BIRTHDAY SONG

JM: 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 ANN MAURICE 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. Everyone, let's
all sing the happy birthday song!
18. BLOWING OF THE CANDLE AND CUTTING OF THE CAKE

JM: ( leads the singing of happy birthday song)

Let’s give 18 claps for ANN MAURICE. Thank you very much. You can now blow your
18 candles and make a wish.
It is now time to cut the cake. As she has reached the maturity, she will now cut the
cake and give a portion to her parents as a symbol of her love and gratefulness to
them.

JM – GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

19. MESSAGE FROM FAMILY MEMBERS

JM: All of you who are here tonight are closest to ANN. Sabi nga nila, friendship is a
million little things. This time, I’d like to ask her family members / dear friends to give
message to the debutant.

(gives message…..)

JM: Thankyou for that inspiring message.

And with that our program has officially concluded. We would like to thank you for
all making it to this wonderful celebration of ANN MAURICE’s 18th birthday.

JM: For those who are going home, may god bless you, be safe everyone. And for
those who are staying, the night is still young and the floor is now open for dancing.
