Good afternoon everyone! Welcome to Sanurjo’s Residence po here in Brgy.

Lepute,
San Jose, Batangas! And welcome to all the guests who are with us this afternoon. All
of you are special and very dear to our debutant and so in behalf of the family, let me
welcome you as you grace your time with us to celebrate Antonette’s 18 th birthday.

 INTRODUCTION OF FAMILY MEMBERS

As a jumpstart, let us all welcome and acknowledge the ever supportive and loving
family of our debutant:

Lolo:     MANUEL SANURJO

       Mommy:     YOLANDA SANURJO
Sibling: MR. MARK ANTHONY BARBOSA
Mama: MARIVIC SANURJO

There we have it ladies and gentlemen…the loving and ever supportive family of our
debutant... for without them, this event wouldn’t be possible.

 INTRODUCTION OF THE CELEBRANT

Today is a celebration of adulthood and a thanksgiving of the life God has given to
our lovely celebrant. Our lovely celebrant wants to be a teacher someday. She loves
dancing very much. And she is really talented.
Without further ado, may I request everyone to stand… and let us put our hands
together, as we welcome the main highlight of this celebration, and as she stepped into
a higher level of life, ladies and gentlemen, our debutant, MS. ANTONETTE
SANURJO BARBOSA!

 GRAND ENTRANCE OF DEBUTANT... (THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE SONG)

Wow, blooming and lovely, indeed! Saan nga ba siya nagmana? Kay Mommy ba? Or
kay Mama? Or baka both? 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.

 PRAYER
At this juncture let us remain standing as we give honor to our Almighty Creator. May
we call on Ms. Joana Rose to lead us in a prayer this afternoon.

Thank you very much Joana Rose.

 SONG NUMBER
And at this moment we are privilege that someone will give us a song number. Let’s
give it up for Ms. Shane Vernice Diaz!!!

Thank you, Ms. Shane Vernice for that truly powerful song number, that was really
awesome, and I believe that our debutant loves your rendition of that song. Again, a
round of applause for Shane Vernice Diaz!!

 18 BAGS
They say, memories are ways to hold on to the things that we love, and to the things
that we don’t want to lose. Now, we would like to call on these 18 selected people
who will give Antonette her 18 special bags whom she will treasure and remember.
First off, let’s call on:

 “WHAT IS THAT ONE WORD THAT BEST DESCRIBES OUR

DEBUTANT, AND WHY?”
All of you who are here tonight are closest to Antonette. This time, I’d like to ask
Antonette’s dear friends this question: “What is that one word that best describes
our debutant, and why?” Antonette will be the one to call 5 from her friends and
guests this afternoon…

ladies to give our debutant special pairs of shoes and sandals which will represent a
significant meaning of the paths, and dreams Antonette will take on through her life.

 SONG NUMBER: THE JOURNEY

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG/BLOWING OF CANDLE

Many ancient cultures believed that smoke carried their prayers to the heavens. So, I
would like to call at this very moment Mommy Linda, Lolo Owel, her brother, Mark
Anthony and her mama, Mama Marivic and of course the members of the 18 Roses,
18 Bags and 18 Shoes/Sandals, let’s all sing joyfully together the Happy Birthday

 DEBUTANT’S MESSAGE
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.
And if there’s one person here tonight who is more than grateful to see all of you, that
would be our beloved celebrant, Antonette. I’m giving the floor to our dear debutant
to give her message for all of us.

Thank you message from Antonette

with all of you. Isang malakas na “Happy birthday, Antonette! naman diyan. At the
count of three…1, 2, 3, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANTONETTE! And again, this is your
host, Mrs. Jeniffer Makalintal, enjoy the rest of the night everyone!
