Herman:
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. May we have your attention please? We are
about to begin this special Debut celebration of Ms. Kathlen Rafon, so kindly proceed to

evening.
A pleasant evening to each and every one and welcome to a night of “pastel colors” in
celebration of a wonderful life for a girl who is now turning into a fine lady.
We would like to thank everyone for gracing this very momentous occasion because as
they say, you only get to be 18 once.
Grace:
Now, we would like to acknowledge the important persons who took a great part in
making this special event possible. 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.
Upon calling these names, kindly stand up.

Childhood is the most fun and memorable time in anyone’s life. It’s the first stage of life
which we enjoy in whatever way we like. Besides, this is the time that shapes up the
future.
Now, this video of Kathlen’s childhood memories will remind us that life is good.
Gusto niyo na bang makita ang kagandahan ng ating Debutante during her childhood?
