Kristine’s 18th Birthday

PROGRAM
EMCEE: Good evening to all of us. Welcome to MAGICAL PARTY of our
charming debutant who is now turning into a fine lady. This is quiet a very
important event in her life and she is very much honored for your presence. Like
Wendy in the movie Peter Pan, no more fairy tale stories every night. She is now a
real lady as she steps onto the much higher level of what we call LIFE. Ladies and
gentlemen, sit back as we groove, jive and enjoy her party for tonight…

INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS
EMCEE: But before we go on, it is my great honor to introduce her family.
Without them, her life would be empty and unhappy. 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.

Entrance of Family
Manny Pareῆo - dad
Bernadette Pareῆo - mom
Madeline and Marnie Pareῆo - younger sisters

GRAND ENTRANCE OF THE DEBUTANTE

(Note: First song to be played is “Eye of the Tiger”, which is just a blooper, needs
adlib pretending it’s a technical problem. Next song is “Lahing Pinoy” by Manny
Pacquiao which is also a blooper. Final song is “Beautiful in my Eyes” – real song
for the entrance)
EMCEE: And now…. guests, friends, ladies and gentlemen, let us all stand as we
welcome the debutant as a woman of grandeur, now hot and legal….escorted by

FATHER AND DAUGHTER SPECIAL DANCE NUMBER

EMCEE: Let us now proceed to the most important part of this should we call it
rituals of turning 18? Let us now acknowledge one of the most loved and important
persons in Kristine’s life. This time to dance with her, let’s welcome her father….
Mr. Manny Pareῆo . ((In the middle of the father and daughter dance) The father
and daughter dance is 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.)

EMCEE: Kuya Manny, Kristine’s loving father will be followed by Kristine’s
Circle of 18 gentle bachelors who will offer to her roses that symbolize love. Love
which Kristine has for her family and all the people in her life. Each bachelor after

Singing of the Birthday Song and Blowing of Candles

Nancy: Let me share a 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. Candles were added to 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 Kristine will blow the
candles on her 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!

Debutant makes a wish and blows the candles.

Nancy: 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
memorable 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, Kristine. I’m giving
the floor to our dear debutant to give her message for all of us.

Thank you message from Kristine

Nancy: The night is young, and so are we, diba? Are you ready to party? We have
just actually started. Again, thank you for having me here to celebrate with all of
you. Isang malakas na “Happy birthday, Kristine! naman diyan. At the count of
three…1, 2, 3, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KRISTINE! Our debutant is not just a pretty
face but also a very talented lady. To get the party started, throw your hands up in
the air for KRISTINE with the Musico Nino Band! This is your host, Nancy A.
