5:00 PM (Program Proper – PART I)
Good evening to all of us. Welcome to _______________________ Welcome
to the one of the most important evening of our charming debutant
who is now turning into a fine lady. This is quite 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 witness the
spectacular night of her life and enjoy her party for tonight...
My name is JY GABON and I am very much honored to be your master
of ceremonies for tonight.
We are gathered here tonight to witness the transformation of a
young girl to a beautiful lady. We are very lucky for we are chosen to
be here and be part of this momentous occasion in the debutant's
life. You see her grow up. You see her smile. You see her laugh. You
see her everything. And now you are about to see her as a grown-up
lady. A lady of good heart, character and ambition.
An 18th birthday marks almost the steps from youth to young adult,
with all its relative responsibilities. Join us as we celebrate this
wonderful girl's coming of age. Let us all celebrate as our girl
becomes a full-bloomed lady tonight, as our girl turns 18.
Entrance of the Entourage……………………………… Blue Bills & Yellow Bills
Entrance of the Family and Relatives………………… Family and
Family
Entrance of the Symbols………………………………… 18 Roses & 18

Let’s take this moment to acknowledge the people who made all
these a success: from the planning to the execution, for the foods,
the details of the party. Without these people, this event would not
be possible.

Audio-Visual Presentation (AVP)……………………….
In a land not so far away, there was once a little girl with a beauty
of an angel. Born under the sign of _______, this girl is the ________
eldest among the children of Mr. ___________________ &
Mrs.________________________________
She grew up with so much love and kindness. She is loved by
everybody for her beauty inside and out. Her voice is an angel. Her
smile bears no limit. Her heart is unafraid. Her mind is ready to try.

She's ready for any adventure for the sake of fun and friendship.
More refined than shy, more adventurous than playful, more
charismatic than charming, more alluring than beautiful. Indeed, she
has all grown up and what a sight she has become.

welcome the debutant as a woman of grandeur, and legal. Miss

Entrance of the Debutante……………………………… Jessette
Wow, blooming and lovely, indeed! Saan nga ba siya nagmana?
Kay Mommy ba? Or kay Daddy? Or both. Jessette spent years
growing up in a 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.
We would like to thank everyone in this beautiful venue for
gracing this momentous celebration as they say you only get to be
18 once, but before that may we invite everyone to please stand for
the prayer.

Opening Remarks & Welcome Message……………...
Let us now have the 18 Lights. Candle often reveal a sense of
mystery and supernatural guidance. It symbolizes security as it may
illuminate circumstances. It may also signify 18 significant people in
our celebrant's life who serve as her guide as she grows up. These
are also the people who care for her and love her unconditionally.
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 advice.
As you hear your name, please be on stage, light your candle and
give a brief message or birthday wish for .

Parent’s Special Birthday Wishes and Message…….
Flowers often symbolize degrees of love and affection, but they can
also send a variety of messages. Messages of forgiveness, purity,
modesty, hope, beauty and love. The 18 roses signify 18 very special
gentlemen in the life of the debutant, like her friends, relatives,
brothers, boyfriend and of course we can never forget the father for

They say money makes the world goes round. Which I do agree. This
time, here are the 18 people who will give Jessette something that
she would need in the future. We know that this thing will be of great
help for her especially for her studies. Our celebration this evening
has been filled with different symbolisms in the hope that each
symbol becomes a part of her growth. Ladies and gentlemen, we shall
now have Blue Bills sponsors. A sign of prosperity that should help us
witness through how generosity and the hope of financial bliss should
go through the life of our debutante

Let us now proceed to the 18 treasures. It doesn’t matter how
expensive, how elegant or how precious the gift is, what matters
most is the thought, the value and the essence that the gift
contains. These gifts are significant to the debutant and that she will
truly treasure these for the rest of her life.
We have now reached the stage where our debutant shall discover
meaningful gifts that will really reflect the aspirations and
personality of our birthday girl.
To start, let us have .

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, Jessette. I’m
