PART I - OPENING:

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the RV Joseph Event Center. Today, we celebrate adulthood
and give thanks for the beautiful life that God has bestowed upon our charming celebrant. We are privileged to be part of
this special moment in Rita's life. Tonight, we gather to witness the transformation of a young girl into a lovely lady. We have
seen her grow, we have watched her smile, heard her laughter, and observed her every step. Now, we are here to see her
bloom into a gracious lady, full of kindness, personality, and ambition.

I hope everyone is in high spirits today, as I, Hon. Carl James Egdane, will be your host for this evening's celebration. This
is a truly significant event in Rita's life, and she is deeply honored by your presence. Much like Wendy in the story of Peter
Pan, the days of fairy tales are behind her, as she steps into the greater adventures of real life. Ladies and gentlemen, relax
and enjoy the festivities as we celebrate this joyous occasion. And now, without further ado, I am delighted to introduce to
you our debutante, the star of the night, Rita!

ENTRANCE OF THE FAMILY:

Before we welcome our stunning debutante, let's take a moment to introduce her beloved siblings, who have played
an important role in her life and supported her every step of the way. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm round of
applause for Rita's siblings as they make their entrance. (ENTRANCE OF THE SIBLINGS)

NAMES:

2. KEZEIAH ESPINA
3. RICA SOPHIA ESPINA

Now, without further ado, let's turn our attention to the star of the evening.

ENTRANCE OF THE DEBUTANTE:

Once upon a time, in a nearby region, there lived a little girl with the beauty of an angel. A young woman from
Pinaopawan, Igbaras, born on the 22nd of May, 2006, and the daughter of Rino Espina and Camea Flores, is now reaching
the age of legality. Known to most as “Nene,” she has been surrounded by love and generosity from her friends, best
friends, neighbors, classmates, family, and relatives.

Many of us have had the pleasure of watching Rita grow and blossom into a remarkable individual. She is always ready for
any adventure in the name of joy and friendship. More refined than shy, more daring than playful, more charismatic than
attractive, and more appealing than lovely. Indeed, she has grown up beautifully, and what a sight she has become.

Ladies and gentlemen, please stand as I introduce to you the debutante. Let us all welcome our dazzling lady of the night, a
woman of grandeur, now radiant and legal, Miss Rita Joy Flores Espina. Let's give her a warm round of applause.

To formally start the program or this celebration I would like to request everyone to please stand, bow down our
heads and put ourselves in the presence of God for the PRAYER to be led by ______________________________.

WELCOME MESSAGE:

Tonight's celebration wouldn't be complete without acknowledging a very special person who played a significant
role in making this event a success. Their dedication and hard work have ensured that every detail of this evening is perfect.
Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming ______________________________________, who will now give a
welcome message to everyone who has joined us tonight. Let's give him/her a big round of applause!

VIDEO PRESENTATION: PRE-DEBUT

Now, ladies and gentlemen, before we proceed further, we have a special treat for you. The organizers have
prepared a wonderful pre-debut video presentation that captures the journey and beautiful moments of our lovely debutante,
Rita. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy this heartfelt presentation. Let's dim the lights and start the video.
18 CANDLE:

As the video concludes, we now move on to a significant and cherished tradition in debut celebrations: the 18
Candles. This segment symbolizes the light and guidance that the people closest to our debutante, Rita, have provided
throughout her life. Each candle represents a cherished individual who has been a source of inspiration, love, and support
for her.

To begin this meaningful ceremony, we will first light the mother candle. This candle represents the love and guidance of
Rita's parents, who have been her primary source of light and support.

Now, I invite ________________________________ to come forward and light the mother candle.

(Designated person lights the mother candle)

Now, as each of the 18 candles is lit, the chosen individuals will come forward, share their message, and light their candle
from the mother candle, symbolizing the passing of light and love to Rita.

Let's begin with our first candle…

18 ROSES:

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 18 Candles ceremony. Your heartfelt messages and the light you
have shared will undoubtedly guide Rita as she embarks on this new chapter of her life.

Now, we move on to another significant part of the evening: the 18 Roses. This tradition symbolizes the love, admiration,
and respect that the men in Rita's life have for her. Each rose represents a wish for happiness and a reminder of the beauty
she brings to the world.

As each gentleman presents his rose to Rita, he will share a dance with her, symbolizing the support and care she has
received from the important men in her life.

Let's begin with our first rose…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG:

As we continue this joyous celebration, we have another special moment to share. Tonight, not only are we
celebrating Rita's debut, but we also have the privilege of celebrating the birthday of her dear brother.

So, before we sing "Happy Birthday" to Rita, let's invite her brother to join us. ___________________, please come
forward. Let's give him a round of applause as he joins us for this heartwarming occasion.

Now, as a family, let's gather together and sing "Happy Birthday" to both Rita and her brother, ____________________.
Let's make this moment truly memorable for them both.

PRAYER BEFORE MEALS:

As we prepare to enjoy the delicious feast that awaits us, let us take a moment to bow our heads in gratitude.

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, we gather here tonight surrounded by the warmth of family and friends, filled with gratitude for the
blessings you have bestowed upon us. As we come together to share this meal, we give thanks for the love, joy, and
abundance in our lives.

We ask for your blessings upon this food, that it may nourish our bodies and strengthen our spirits. May it remind us of the
blessings of togetherness and the importance of sharing with one another.

We also ask for your guidance and protection over Rita and her brother as they embark on new journeys in their lives. May
they always be surrounded by your love and grace.

Bless this food, bless our gathering, and bless each and every one of us gathered here tonight. Amen.

Before we begin, I kindly request the operator to please play some soothing music from the 70s or 80s, setting a nostalgic
and warm ambiance for this touching moment.

Now, as each treasure bearer presents their gift to Rita, they will also share a personal message or wish. However, in the
interest of time, we have selected one representative who will convey the collective messages on behalf of all 18 treasures
participants.

warmth and joy.

Similar to the 18 Treasures, we have selected one representative who will convey the collective messages and blessings on
behalf of all 18 participants.

Before we begin, let's maintain the lively atmosphere by requesting the operator to play some upbeat music, keeping the
energy high and the mood festive.

Similarly to the previous segments, we have selected one representative who will deliver a message on behalf of all 18
participants.

CLOSING MESSAGE OF THE DEBUTANTE:

As we approach the conclusion of this magnificent celebration, it is my honor to introduce the focal point of tonight's
festivities once more. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming Rita to the stage.

Rita, tonight has been a testament to the love, support, and friendship that surrounds you. Before we bid farewell to this
remarkable evening, we eagerly await your closing message, a reflection of gratitude and appreciation for all who have
shared in this special moment with you.

Please, Rita, the stage is yours.
