PROGRAM PROPER……

1. Entrance of Guests and Family

Good evening everyone! According to Buckminster Fuller, “There is nothing in a
caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.” Yes, everyday is a total transformation of
ourselves. We undergo several changes and processes that will eventually define who we are
going to be in the future. Tonight, we will witness how life has changed. Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Khea's 7th Debut celebration.
As a jumpstart, let us all welcome this evening’s guests and the ever supportive and
loving family of our debutant, the wind beneath her wings: his very gwapo sibling: Kevin
Curammeng; his Father: Mr. Loren Curammeng, Mother: _______________.

There you have them ladies and gentlemen, the guests and Khea’s family, a round of
applause please.
 2. Prelude of the Celebration
Before we finally meet the lady of the hour, allow me first to give you bits of her life’s
snapshots. On May 12, 2001, she first saw the light of the beautiful world. For Mr. and Mrs. Loren
Curammeng, she was a gift from heaven – an angel sent to them who will add more happiness
to the family that they have built. She became the first source of bliss of the family alongside
with her younger sibling.
And tonight we’ll witness how she steps into a higher level of life.

3. Entrance of the Debutant

Ladies and gentlemen may we all rise for the entrance of our lovely and stunning
debutant. Let us put our hands together, as we welcome the main highlight of this celebration –
our debutant, RENSHELLE KHEA D. CURAMMENG!

(SPIEL)

Walking in the aisle is our debutant, Renshelle Khea Curammeng escorted of course by
Jhon Marvin Calad. May we give them a round of applause!
Such a spectacular grand entrance by our lovely debutant.
 4. Prayer
Before we start this magical evening, it is but right to ask God’s presence and blessing.
Ladies and gentleman, I’d like to request everybody to please stand as Kervin Curammeng will
lead us into a prayer.
5. Words of Welcome
You may now take your seat. Everybody looks stunning and gorgeous for this evening.
This celebration is worth cherishing for our debutant as this marks the shift from being a
teenage girl to a more mature and responsible lady. And this celebration is totally best shared
with her family. On that note, may I call on Geraldine Oasay, the Aunt of the debutant, to
welcome us all for tonight.
(SPIEL)
Thank you very much for that warm welcome. Indeed, everyone is happy to be here.

ENTERTAINMENT

To keep the excitement going, we have a special entertainment segment for you all.
Please welcome our magician, [Magician's Name], who will amaze us with some incredible
magic tricks!

[Magician performs a few magic tricks.]

Wasn't that amazing? Let's give a big round of applause to [Magician's Name]!
DEBUT TRADITIONS

1. 18 candles (Photo Opt after)

One of the customary traditions in debuts like this is the giving of wishes by 18 ladies
whom our debutant considers special to her. As according to Jiminy Cricket, a character in the
famous fairy tale titled “Pinocchio” said, “The most fantastic, magical things can happen, and it
all starts with a wish.” These wishes are given along with lighting up the 18 candles. After
which, our debutant will blow the candles with the wishes asked for her favour. May we
request the chosen 18 ladies to come here in front starting off with:
1. For long life 10. For success and genuine happiness
2. For good health 11. For her family’s unity and harmony
3. For financial independence 12. For stronger friendship ties

4. For spiritual enlightenment 13. For social awareness and concern

 (SPIEL)

Each one will be a visible reminder of Khea’s triumph over challenges in life… serves as
eternal lamp that brings her optimistic view of the world she’s about to enter and a guiding
light that gives her a sense of direction.
May we give them a round of applause and let us pray that these wishes asked for our
debutant’s favour will come true.

nothing more and nothing less. The rich, fluffy flavoured sponge and the smooth, soft icing is
just heaven, pure heaven.

Let's begin with:

3. 18 SYMBOLIC GIFTS
Friends, this night is indeed a night of gifts and treasures. As a way of celebrating Khea's
debut celebration, generous people are here to share love to our debutant. They are called to

towards fulfilling her dreams.

her through the giving of symbolic 18 treasures. May we request the 18 persons who will give
the 18 treasures to Khea to please come here in front and share to us the symbol of your gift.

treasured, for they these do not only mean the monetary worth of the money, but the love and
care enclosed in them.

4.1 18 SHOES
The journey to womanhood is never complete without the right pair of shoes. True they
say that good shoes take you to good places so, this is the idea behind this ritual. After all, a
lady cannot have too many shoes.
May I call on the 18 people specially chosen by our debutant who will give a pair of shoes
starting off with:

Thank you very much. I know these symbolic gifts will always be cherished and
treasured, for they these do not only mean the monetary worth of the money, but the love and
care enclosed in them.

6. 18 BALLONS
Balloons may burst or even fly, this time the balloon that the well wisher would give will
symbolizes as bad or undesirable attitudes that we do not want the debutante to carry on her
new world of existence but let them out by bursting and even fly and go away from her.
May we request the 18 persons who will give the 18 ballons to please come here in front,
starting off with:

7. 18 SHOTS
A toast or a drink is taken to honor the debutante; this is called the 18 shots ritual.
Eighteen important people are chosen to honor the lady of the night. The people need to finish
their well-wishes first before the actual toasting. May we request the 18 persons who will give
their toast to the debutant to please come here in front, starting off with:

Thank you very much. I know these shots will give honor and always be
cherished, for these do not only mean admiration, but symbolizes good reputation and good
quality and character.

8. 18 ROSES
One of the highlights of tonight’s event is the dance of the debutant with the gentlemen with 18
roses. Like a pretty flower that attracts bees and butterflies, Khea will be surrounded by 18
equally handsome gentlemen.
This customary tradition symbolizes the giving of value and respect to a lady by the gentlemen
close to the debutante’s heart.
May we request the 18 gentlemen to please come here in front and fall in line as you dance with
our debutant starting off with:
A. Dance with the father
One of that happiest at the same time loneliest moment for a father is to see her little girl finally
turns into a full-grown lady. For a father, it will always be his wish that his daughter won’t grow up
anymore because he always considers his daughter a baby. However, time is inevitable. And so as
speaking, Mr. Loren Curammeng, the father of the debutant, holds the happiest heart tonight seeing
Khea turning 18. With that, may we request her father, Mr. Loren Curammeng to take our debutant to
the dance floor. May we give them a round of applause?

our debutante’s siblings as they convey their wishes to their ate, starting off with:
________________________, ___________________________, ______________________
G. Singing of pada padakam
Because birthdays are always new beginnings, new endeavours 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. Ladies and gentlemen may we give now our wishes to
our debutant by singing of the traditional Ilocano birthday song… Requesting the band to please

CAKES wish candles smoke

Many ancient cultures believed that smoke carried their prayers to the heavens. So, at
the count of three, Mommy Cynthia and members of the 18 Wishes, let’s say “May all our
wishes come true” and blow our candles together. 1, 2, and 3… Everybody blows the candle
HOST: 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 Cham will blow the
candles on her birthday cake.
