Good evening everyone!

Welcome to a day (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. As a
jumpstart, let us all welcome and acknowledge the ever
supportive and loving family of our debutant:
FATHER: Mr. RAMILLE ELCANO
MOTHER: MRS. BESSIE VIRAY ELCANO
BROTHER: MR. ALBERT RACE V. ELCANO
Tonight is a celebration of adulthood and a thanksgiving of the life
God has given to our lovely celebrant. Like Wendy in the movie
Peter Pan, no more fairy tale stories every night. She is now a real
lady as she stepped onto the much higher level of what we call
LIFELt 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, our debutant, BEIEL RACEL
VIRAY ELCANO
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
today, Macol has had happy years in a very happy home. The love
of a family will always be Gods 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 Cham, heres Papa Ramil
to welcome all of us to their lovely daughters 18 th birthday party.
Welcome Remarks Daddy
At this moment, Id like to request everybody to please stand as
we say our prayer to be led by Pastor Jong Viray.
18 Treasures
Where there is great gift, there are always wishes. Gifts symbolize
ever flowing love, caring and admiration. So lets now have our 18
Treasures., To start with: (Names)
18 Wishes
And to represent Beiels Circle of Important People of her Life, let
us welcome the following persons who will share their wishes. 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. (18 Candles)

Many ancient cultures believed that smoke carried their prayers

to the heavens. So, at the count of three, Beiel please blow your
candles. 1, 2, and 3
Dinner
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.
18 Roses
Like a pretty flower that attracts bees and butterflies, Beiel will be
surrounded by 18 equally handsome gentlemen who will
represent the debutants 18 roses.
The first dance is of course reserved to the forever most
handsome and most loving guy in her life. To dance with our
debutant Mr. Ramil Elcano, Father and daughter dance
(In the middle of the father and daughter dance) The father and
daughter dance is probably one of the most loved traditions in
any Filipino debut celebration. This signifies the daughters first
step to womanhood and the fathers acceptance of this period in
his daughters life.
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, and to add some spice tonight
we will have our 18 envelopes. And so, I present to you these 18
Big Times for our debutant. These are the people close to the
heart of our celebrant, Starting off:
Debutant makes a wish and blows the candles.
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. Todays 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. And to complete that customary
practice, let us all sing joyfully a song I am very sure everybody is
familiar with, the happy birthday song!
HOST: Tonights 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 theres one person here tonight who is more than grateful to

see all of you, that would be our beloved celebrant, Cham. Im

giving the floor to our dear debutant to give her message for all of
us.
Thank you message from Macol
