Wow, blooming and lovely, indeed! Such a spectacular grand entrance by our lovely
debutante, I would say. Saan nga ba siya nagmana? Kay Mama ba niya? Or kay Papa
niya? Or baka both? Evidently, before tonight, Jesssa Mae has had happy years in a
very 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. Ladies
and gentlemen, to answer the question kung saan nga ba nagmana si Aleyah Kate,
here’s ___________ to welcome all of us to their lovely daughter’s 18th birthday party.

CUPCAKES
The idea of having a cupcake is to reminisce on the good, sweet, and joyful moments
in life and a moment of the participant and the debutante that is being symbolized by
a cupcake often associated with childhood, this mini cake indicates that a joyful
moment is at hand. Let us welcome the 18 cupcakes starting with…

18 ROSES
Emcee: They say that being 18 means you are now legally permitted to do things that
an adult can do. It gives you the freedom and the ticket to try new adventures and
learn new things. The same way being 18 means you have now come to an age where
you are expected to perform duties and be responsible to your actions and do
decisions that will make you a better person. So, without further ado, let us continue
the celebration of this important night by having her first dance as she enters a new
world of coming to an age.
Emcee: to dance our dearest debutante, let’s start with:
The last dance is of course reserved to the forever most handsome and most loving
guy in her life. To dance with our debutant, Aleyah’s 18th roses, ladies, and gentlemen
Mr. Ceferino Aquino Jr.!
Father and daughter dance
EMCEE: (In the middle of the father and daughter dance) The father and daughter
dance are probably one of the most loved traditions in any Filipino debut celebration.
This signifies the daughter’s first step to womanhood and the father’s acceptance of
this period in his daughter’s life.

18 CANDLES
Emcee: candle serves as a guide or a light as we journey in this life. To share her best
wishes to our debutante, Aleyah, let us call on our well-wishers. May I call on, name
of the first well-wishers. (Picture taking.)
18 TREASURES
Emcee: and now ladies and gentlemen, let us begin this event by having the 18
treasures. These treasures must have a symbolism that may play a significant role in
debutantes’ life. A special token that will bring joy and will make our debutante feel how
important she is. Let us start with…..
18 Yellow Bills & BLUE BILLS
Emcee: tonight, ladies and gentlemen, let us make the night more exciting by calling
individuals who are extremely generous to give our debutante, Jessa Mae, a treasure of
monetary value. These individuals are truly blessed that they will be sharing Jingle
these blessings. For our first generous well-wishers…may I call on
18 GIFTS
Bags/Gifts are a sign of responsibilities in life. The things you carry in a bag reveal
different information about your current life. A bag's symbol denotes all your life's
responsibilities and the things inside depict either the people in your life or the different
roles you perform.

18 BALLONS
Balloons may burst or even fly, this time the balloon that the well-wisher would give will
symbolize as bad or undesirable attitudes that we do not want the debutante to carry on
her new world of existence but let them out by bursting and even fly and go away from
her.
18 SHOTS
18 shots symbolize the entrance of the debutante in a legal age each man who will
participate with it needs to welcome her into the new world.

RECEPTION

As the saying goes “It is not only the spirit that must be fed but also the bodies.”
But before that
AKEEPIS’ WELL-WISHERS

Maes’ life as they took the opportunity to wish her well on this very important day.
Emcee: thank you, well-wishers, I am sure you made Jessa Mae the happiest girl in the
world! So, before the night’s end, let us give this opportunity to our debutante to give her
a message.
