Grand Entrance of Debutant
HOST: Wow, blooming and lovely, indeed! Saan nga ba siya
nagmana? Evidently, before today, Marv has had happy years in a
very happy home. The love of a family will always be God’s

friends, classmates, and social circles, but there is only one
family who is always willing and ready to welcome us no matter
what.

HOST: All of you who are here today are closest to Marv. Sabi
nga nila, friendship is a million little things. This time, I’d
like to ask Marv’s dear friends this question: “What is that one
word that best describes our debutant, and why?”
HOST: Grabeh ang bukingan! Nag enjoy ba tayong lahat? Seems like
our gorgeous debutant really enjoyed today. From the shared
memories to a game trivia, Marvie has shared a part of her
growing years with all of us. At sabi nga ni mareng 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 Wishers 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.
Starting off with the woman dearest to Marv’s heart,
representing the mother candle that will be a source of light
for all the well-wishers for our dear Marv, here’s:
18 Wishes/Candles
HOST: 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. 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!
Debutant makes a wish and blows the candles.
HOST: 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, Cham. I’m
giving the floor to our dear debutant to give her message for
all of us.
Thank you message from Cham
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, Cham! naman diyan. At the count of three…1, 2,
3, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHAM! Our debutant is not just a pretty face
but also a very talented lady. To get the party started, throw
your hands up in the air for CHAM with the City Lights Band!
This is your host, John Irene Del Campo, enjoy the rest of the
night everyone!
