MJ: GOOD AFTERNOON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

LYCHA: AND WELCOME TO THE CELEBRATION OF ALYSSA’S 18 BIRTHDAY! I AM LYCHA LINSAG.

MJ: AND I AM MJ GALLEGO MAGHINAY, AND WE WILL BE YOUR HOST FOR THIS OCCASION! SO
SIT BACK, RELAX AND ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF THE CELEBRATION.
LYCHA: WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR GRACING THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION,
BECAUSE AS THEY SAY, YOU ONLY GET TO BE 18 ONCE.
(PAUSE SANDALI 😊 )

LYCHA: WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TO WITNESS THE TRANSFORMATION OF A YOUNG

GIRL TO A 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. YOU SEE HER GROW UP. YOU
SEE HER SMILE. YOU SEE HER LAUGH. YOU SEE HER EVERYTHING. AND NOW YOU ARE ABOUT
TO SEE HER AS A GROWN-UP LADY. A LADY OF GOOD HEART, CHARACTER AND AMBITION.

MJ: AN 18TH BIRTHDAY MARKS ALMOST THE STEPS FROM YOUTH TO YOUNG ADULT, WITH
ALL ITS RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES. JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE THIS WONDERFUL GIRL'S
COMING OF AGE. LET US ALL CELEBRATE AS OUR GIRL BECOMES A FULL-BLOOMED LADY
TONIGHT, AS ALYSSA TURNS 18.

ENTRANCE OF THE DEBUTANT

MJ: IN A LAND NOT SO FAR AWAY, THERE WAS ONCE A LITTLE GIRL WITH A BEAUTY OF AN
ANGEL. BORN UNDER THE SIGN OF CAPRICORN, THIS GIRL IS THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF MR.
JULUIS CARDENOS PATAO AND MRS. ROXANNE SO PATAO.
LYCHA: SHE GREW UP WITH SO MUCH LOVE AND KINDNESS. SHE IS LOVED BY EVERYBODY
FOR HER BEAUTY INSIDE AND OUT. HER VOICE IS AN ANGEL. HER SMILE BEARS NO LIMIT. HER
HEART IS UNAFRAID. HER MIND IS READY TO TRY. SHE'S READY FOR ANY ADVENTURE FOR THE
SAKE OF FUN AND FRIENDSHIP. MORE REFINED THAN SHY, MORE ADVENTUROUS THAN
PLAYFUL, MORE CHARISMATIC THAN CHARMING, MORE ALLURING THAN BEAUTIFUL. INDEED,
SHE HAS ALL GROWN UP AND WHAT A SIGHT SHE HAS BECOME.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MJ: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MAY WE INTRODUCE TO YOU THE DEBUTANT. LET US ALL
WELCOME OUR DAZZLING LADY OF THE NIGHT, MS. ALYSSA ANDREA CLAIRE S. PATAO.

WELCOME MESSAGE
MJ: BEFORE WE PROCEED TO THE MAIN PART OF THE OCCASION, LET US FIRST GIVE THIS
MOMENT TO THE PEOPLE WHO MADE ALL THESE A SUCCESS: FROM THE PLANNING TO THE
EXECUTION, FOR THE FOOD, THE DETAILS OF THE PARTY. WITHOUT THESE PEOPLE, THIS
EVENT WOULD NOT BE MADE POSSIBLE. MAY WE CALL IN THE PROUD PARENTS OF OUR
DEBUTANT, MR AND MRS JULUIS C. PATAO TO WELCOME US ALL TONIGHT AND AS WELL TO
EXTEND THEIR GRATITUDE FOR COMING.

(IF EVER MAY VIDEO)

MJ: TO MAKE TONIGHT’S CELEBRATION MORE BEAUTIFUL, HERE’S A QUICK LOOK OF HOW THIS

LOVELY, YOUNG LADY CAME ABOUT. ROLL VTR 😊

18 FLOWERS
LYCHA: FLOWERS OFTEN SYMBOLIZE DEGREES OF LOVE AND AFFECTION, BUT THEY CAN
ALSO SEND A VARIETY OF MESSAGES. MESSAGES OF FORGIVENESS, PURITY, MODESTY, HOPE,
BEAUTY AND LOVE.THE 18 ROSES SIGNIFY 18 VERY SPECIAL GENTLEMEN IN THE LIFE OF THE
DEBUTANT, LIKE HER FRIENDS, RELATIVES, BROTHERS, BOYFRIEND AND OF COURSE WE CAN
NEVER FORGET THE FATHER FOR HE IS ALWAYS THE FIRST OR LAST DANCE.
MJ: TO BEGIN WITH, LET US CALL ALL THE GENTS TO GATHER ON THE SIDE FOR THE SMOOTH
FLOW OF THE PROGRAM. AS YOUR NAME IS CALLED, IT IS YOUR CHANCE TO OFFER A FLOWER
AND TO DANCE WITH THE DEBUTANT. SO THE FIRST DANCE GOES TO, MR. __________________

18 CANDLES
LYCHA: LET US NOW HAVE THE 18 LIGHTS. CANDLE OFTEN REVEAL A SENSE OF MYSTERY AND
SUPERNATURAL GUIDANCE. IT SYMBOLIZES SECURITY AS IT MAY ILLUMINATE
CIRCUMSTANCES. IT MAY ALSO SIGNIFY 18 SIGNIFICANT PEOPLE IN OUR CELEBRANT'S LIFE
WHO SERVE AS HER GUIDE AS SHE GROWS UP. THESE ARE ALSO THE PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR
HER AND LOVE HER UNCONDITIONALLY.
MJ: AS YOU HEAR YOUR NAME, PLEASE BE ON STAGE, LIGHT YOUR CANDLE AND GIVE A
BRIEF MESSAGE OR BIRTHDAY WISH FOR CHRISTINE.

18 TREASURES
MJ: LET US NOW PROCEED TO THE 18 TREASURES. IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW EXPENSIVE, HOW
ELEGANT OR HOW PRECIOUS THE GIFT IS, WHAT MATTERS MOST IS THE THOUGHT, THE VALUE
AND THE ESSENCE THAT THE GIFT CONTAINS. THESE GIFTS ARE SIGNIFICANT TO THE
DEBUTANT AND THAT SHE WILL TRULY TREASURE THESE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE.

LYCHA: TO START, LET US HAVE _____________________.

SOME OF US ARE ALREADY FAMISHED. LET US ALL STAND AND OFFER THANKSGIVING TO OUR
LORD FOR THE BOUNTIFUL BANQUET WE ARE ABOUT TO SHARE TO BE LED TO US BY

CELEBRATION OF YOUR LIFE. TONIGHT IS NOT THE END BUT THE BEGINNING OF A LONGER
ROAD TO WALK. WE WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST THAT LIFE CAN OFFER. HAPPY
