Welcome to a night of
pastel colors in celebration of a wonderful life for a girl. All of you who are here tonight
have watched her grow over the years into the wonderful person she is now. This is the
HOT and LEGAL PARTY of our charming debutant who is now turning into a fine lady. This
is quiet a very important event in her life and she is very much honor for your presence.
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 LIFE. Ladies and
gentlemen, sit back as we groove, jive and enjoy her party for tonight…
As a jumpstart, let us all welcome and acknowledge the ever supportive and loving
family of our debutant: Without them, her life would be empty and unhappy. Let us all
give a big round of applause to honor all the people whom she truly loved. Sabi nga,
marami tayong mahahanap na kapuso, pero iisa lang ang ating kapamilya.

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 ___________ 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 celebrator, ANDREA PAULA. I’m giving the floor to our dear debutant to
give her message for all of us.

DEBUTANTE’S SPEECH

EMCEE: To officially confirm the heat and legality of this party, at para na rin ipaliwanag
ang lahat ng kaganapang ito… let us now hear the speech to be given of course by our

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
