Cham, are you ready for the bukingan time? Sabi nga ni mareng Cynthia Ozick: “What we remember from childhood, we remember forever.” Tonight we have 18 selected people who will share with us her unforgettable memory with our lovely debutant. 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. HOST: Thank you, City Lights Band for filling the room with music and for jazzing up this party with your playlist! Are you guys, still with me? More party-party later with City Lights Band. HOST: Ladies and gentlemen, sit back, and let’s groove, jive and enjoy the party with the band, they’re back on stage, give it up for City Lights Band! This signifies the daughter’s first step to womanhood and the father’s acceptance of this period in his daughter’s life.
HOST: (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. To dance with our debutant, Cham’s 18 th carnation, ladies and gentlemen, Daddy Manuel Lagua, Jr! HOST: The last dance is of course reserved to the forever most handsome and most loving guy in her life.
Nil Marc Badilles– Cousin (Father Side). Nil Marion Badilles- Cousin (Father Side). For a quick trivia, carnation is Cham’s favorite flower. This flower equates the traditional 18 roses during debuts. HOST: Like a pretty flower that attracts bees and butterflies, Cham will be surrounded by 18 equally handsome gentlemen who will represent the debutant’s 18 carnations. Adding up to the list, here’s a video greeting from the people from all over the world who are closest to our dear debutant. Tonight is definitely filled with a bundle of surprises for our dear Cham. HOST: Ladies and gentlemen, that was City Lights Band. HOST: To fill the room with music while we are having our dinner, we will be serenaded by City Lights Band. HOST: At this moment, I’d like to request everybody to please stand as we say our prayer before meals to be lead by Tita Belle Lim. Host to ad-lib based on the parent’s message to welcome all of us to their lovely daughter’s 18 th birthday party. Ladies and gentlemen, to answer the question kung saan nga ba nagmana si Cham, here’s Daddy Manuel Lagua, Jr. 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. The love of a family will always be God’s greatest blessing. HOST: Wow, blooming and lovely, indeed! Saan nga ba siya nagmana? Kay Mommy ba? Or kay Daddy? Or baka both? Evidently, before tonight, Cham has had happy years in a very happy home. 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, MONICA CHAMANE LAGUA! HOST: Tonight is a celebration of adulthood and a thanksgiving of the life God has given to our lovely celebrant. Roll VTR, please.ĪVP plays, featuring Cham’s collection of photo memories HOST: To open tonight’s celebration, here’s a quick look of how this lovely, young lady came about.
