DEBUT SCRIPT

Emcee: Good evening everyone! May we have your attention please? We are about to begin the program in 5
minutes so please find your seats and make yourselves comfortable as we all enjoy the rest of the night. Thank
you.

"A very good evening to each and every one and welcome to Christabelle’s 18th Birthday. My name is
and I will be your host for tonight. We would like to thank everyone for gracing this very
momentous occasion because as they say, you only get to be 18 once."

EMCEE: Before anything else, may I ask everybody to please stand for the Lord’s Moment for our guidance
and blessings to be led by .

Emcee: Once again, a very good evening to each and every one. As we all know, we are all gathered here
tonight in celebration of a wonderful life for a girl who is now turning into a fine lady. All of you who are here
must have witnessed her grow over the years into the wonderful person she is now.

EMCEE: As a jumpstart, let us all welcome and acknowledge the key persons who took a great part in
making this joyous affair possible. Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you the
family of our lovely debutant.

YOUNGER SISTER: CHRISTELLE ARIANNE PILAR

ELDER SISTER: CHRISTINE ANGELIQUE PILAR
MOTHER: MRS. MARDILYN PILAR

EMCEE: Tonight is a celebration of adulthood and a thanksgiving of the life God has given to our lovely
celebrant. Let us put our hands together, as we welcome the main highlight of this celebration, and as she
stepped into a higher level of life. Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask everyone to stand as we all welcome our
lovely debutant, MS. CHRISTABELLE ANNE M. PILAR!

Grand Entrance of Debutant

Emcee: Wow, blooming and lovely, indeed! Saan nga ba siya nagmana? Kay Mommy ba o kay Daddy? Or
baka both? Evidently, before tonight, Christabelle has had happy years in a very happy home. The love of a
family will always be God’s greatest blessing. Sabi nga nila, 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, to welcome all of us to their lovely daughter’s 18th birthday party, here’s MOMMY
MARDILYN PILAR.

Welcome Remarks – Mommy

EMCEE: Thank you for that heartwarming message, Mommy.

 EMCEE: Who is Christabelle in the real sense of word? Of course aside from being a kind and responsible
daughter, friend or classmate maybe, there are things that some people know but not known to others. Let’s
find out as we randomly ask some quirky, trivial and even personal questions to some of our important guests
here.

(3 persons to interview: one family member, one Benildo friend, & one UST friend)

Question for FAMILY MEMBER: *ask name & relation to debutante* What can you say of her when
she was a child?

characteristic?

message for all of us.

(Thank you message from Christa)

EMCEE: What a very meaningful evening indeed for Christabelle and it becomes more meaningful with all of
