PREP TIME (4:30 - 5:00 PM)
1. Short Description: Why Filipinos Celebrate a Debut
In the Philippines, celebrating a debut is a time-honored tradition that marks a young woman's
transition into adulthood. It's a day filled with love, joy, and anticipation as we witness the
transformation of a girl into a lady, ready to take on the world.
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 Anjenlica, turns 18.
4. Pre-Game (Optional)
Before we officially begin, let’s warm up the crowd!
Everyone, if you’re excited for today, give us a big clap!

And if you love the debutante—stand up, wave, and shout “Happy Birthday, Anjenlica!”
