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. 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!
Everyone sings happy birthday song
(Debutante makes a wish and blows the candles)
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 us 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, Gwen. Im giving the floor to our dear debutant to give her message for all of us.
Thank you message from Gwen
Host: The night is young, and so are we, diba? Are you ready to party? We have just
actually started. Again, thank you for having me here to celebrate with all of you. Isang
malakas na Happy birthday, Gwen! naman diyan. At the count of three1, 2, 3, HAPPY

BIRTHDAY, GWEN! This is your host, Trisha Irish Faye Ramirez and Roi Justine Garcia,
enjoy the rest of the night everyone!
Gwen opens the after party at pool. /Open bar/

magdagdag yung nakakatawa. Gawin niyong masaya party ko, happy lang tayo mga bes.
