As the debutant celebrates the beginning of womanhood, she will need tools that either help her in
the future, encourage her in the present or give her something fond to look back on. These 18
symbolic gifts represents the friendship between the giver and the debutant, because they will
indicate how well they know each other. (Call all member of 18 symbolic gifts)

Let me share another good-to-know trivia to everyone on how birthday cakes and candles came
about as a tradition during birthdays. Some believe that the tradition of birthday candles began in
Ancient Greece. Putting candles on a cake was a special way to pay tribute to the Greek moon
goddess, Artemis. They baked round cakes to symbolize the moon. Candle represent the reflected
moonlight.

Today's tradition of making wishes before blowing out the birthday candles may have started with
that belief. Enough of all those did you-know trivia because at this part of the program, our lovely and
stunning ____________________ will blow the candles on birthday cake.

And to complete that customary practice, let us all sing joyfully a song I am very sure everybody is
familiar with, the happy birthday song!

Meal (Ask for the lead prayer for Meal)

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 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, _____________________. I’m giving the floor to
our dear debutant to give her message for all of us.
