18 CANDLES
sabi ni mareng Willa Cather? Where there is great love, there are always wishes. Because birthdays are
always new beginnings, new endeavours with new set of goals, sending birthday messages and wishes is a
tradition especially in our country, where we give high value to family ties and relationship. Tonight, ladies and
gentlemen, I present to you these 18 Wishers for our debutant. These are the people close to the heart of our
celebrant, and whom she listens and confides to for inspiring words and friendly advices.
SINGING OF BIRTHDAY SONG AND BLOWING OF BDAY CANDLE
Many ancient cultures believed that smoke carried their prayers to the heavens. So, at the count of three,
Mama and members of the 18 Lights, lets say May all our wishes come true and blow our candles together.
1, 2, and 3
Everybody blows the candle

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. Candles were added to represent the reflected moonlight. Todays 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
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.
Message of parents
We all started our evening with the presentation of our debutante Mos. __________. We were mesmerized
and we somehow felt as if this has got to happen only in the television. However, Mom and dad made all of this
happen, her loving parents, together with her kaya made this happy event. So allow me to hand the mic to the
parents for their message of gratitude and greetings.
Message of debutante
Tonights 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. To officially confirm the heat and legality of this
party, at para na rin ipaliwanag ang lahat ng kaganapang ito let us now hear the speech to be given of
course by our gorgeous debutante no other than
