INTRODUCTION

Good evening everyone! Welcome to LRA PAVILLION here at BAGUMBAYAN TAGUIG CITY!
Welcome to a night of pastel colors in celebration of a wonderful life for a girl who is now turning
into a fine lady. All of you who are here tonight have watched her grow over the years into the
wonderful person she is now.

At this moment, the debutante would like to take this opportunity to thank all the important
individuals on her life. She would like to express her deep gratitude on these people who play a
great role in raising her and for being a friend who are always there to support her and share the
joy and success as she journey to become a fine lady. As a jumpstart, let us all welcome and
acknowledge the ever supportive and loving family of our debutant:

GRAND ENTRANCE OF DEBUTANT

Wow, blooming and lovely, indeed! Saan nga ba siya nagmana? Kay Mommy ba? Or kay Daddy?
Or baka both? Evidently, before tonight, Bianca 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 answer the question kung saan
nga ba nagmana si Bianca, here’s Mommy Junie to welcome all of us to their lovely daughter’s

let us welcome the following persons who will share their wishes and offer Candles of
Enlightenment which symbolizes friendship. Of course these people will be the ones who will give
her advices and kind words along the way on how to become a perfect woman.
They then each light a candle that symbolizes light—light that will guide Bianca on her life
journey. Once all 18 candles have been lit, they are placed on the debutante’s birthday cake and
blown out.

“18 candles will be lit up by 18 of the debutante’s closest friends and relatives. Every candle
symbolizes a year of her existence. Each one will be a visible reminder of Francis’ triumph over
challenges in life… serves as eternal lamp that brings her optimistic view of the world she’s

DANCE PRESENTATION
At this point, let’s just relax as we watch the dance presentation of Ericka & Kylie! Let’s give
them a big round of applause!

18 ROSES
They say that being 18 means you are now legally permitted to do things that an adult can do. It
gives you the freedom and the ticket to try new adventures and learn new things. The same way
being 18 means you have now come to an age where you are expected to perform duties and be
responsible to your actions and do decisions that will make you a better person.
Like a flower that blooms and exudes its sweet scents to attract bees and butterflies, the
debutant will be swarmed on by 18 equally gentle bachelors and with the brothers. Let us invite
them to come into the center-stage.
Circle of 18 gentle bachelors who will offer to her roses that symbolize love. Love, which Bianca
has for her family and all the people in her life. Each bachelor after giving Bianca a rose will
dance with her for about 1 or two minutes with the background music.. So without further ado,
let us continue the celebration of this important night by having her first dance as she enters a
new world of coming to an age… let us start with…

1. Gel Concepcion
2. Angelo Okamoto
3. Edzel Galoy
4. Gabriel Espiritu
5. Nythane Mendoza
6. Jerico Melliza
7. Basty Santos
8. Brent Villareal
9. Hanz Molera
10.Kurt Calaguio
11.Sir Rommel Lugay
12.Ali Alejandre
13.Anton Victoria
14.Nathan Victoria
 15.Keeno Alcantara (brother)
16.RJ Alcantara (brother)
17.Jeremi Lopena (boyfriend)
18.
The last dance is of course reserved to the forever most handsome and most supportive guy in
her life. To dance with our debutant, Bianca’s 18 th ladies and gentlemen, Daddy Joecads
Alcantara!

The father and daughter dance is 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.

18th birthday marks the end of teenage and the beginning of adulthood. It is a very special day
in every one's life because on this a person cherishes the old moments filled with love, care and
shelter but now the person is moving towards adulthood where she will be loaded with
responsibilities and independence of thought and expression. As the debutante receives her 18
roses let it be a reminder that like the rose life is beautiful, however, there are thorns that signify
that life isn’t that easy for there are problems to be faced. It is up to her how she will handle
these hurdles with the support of her family and friends.

PRAYER BEFORE MEAL

Sorry for the intrusion in the continuous flow of our celebration but I would like to announce that
we will have our dinner this time. After the dinner, the family would like to request everybody to
please remain for a while for the continuation of our program. Thank you.

At this moment, I’d like to request everybody to please stand as we say our prayer before meals
to be led by Coach Rachel Santos.

debutant really enjoyed tonight. From the shared memories to a game trivia, Bianca has shared
a part of her growing years with all of us. At sabi nga ni Willa Cather? “Where there is great love,
there are always wishes.” Because birthdays are always new beginnings, new endeavors 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. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I
present to you these 18 treasure for our debutant. These are the people close to the heart of our
celebrant, and whom she listens and confides to for inspiring words and friendly advices.
As the debutante celebrates the beginning of womanhood, she will need tools that help her in
the future, encourage her in the present, or give her something fond to look back on. These 18
Treasures, friends or family members are tasked to give the debutante special gifts or “tokens”,
and explain how they will become inspirations for her. These “treasures” represent the friendship
between the giver and the debutante, because they indicate how well they know each other.
The 18 treasure gifts signify the 18 person that she will treasure and these gifts will be her
inspiration and armor in her journey towards fulfilling her dreams.

happy birthday song! Let sing altogether.

"Happy Birthday Bianca! Let us give 18 claps for Bianca.. Thank you very much. You can now
blow your 18 candles and make a wish. It is now time to cut the cake. As Jam has reached the
age of maturity, she will now cut the cake and give a portion to her parents as a symbol of her
love and gratefulness to them."

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 overwhelming thank you. Maraming
salamat po for making me a part of this memorable occasion. And if there’s one person here
tonight who is more than grateful to see all of you that would be our beloved celebrant, Bianca.
I’m giving the floor to our dear debutant to give her message for all of us.
