HOST: Good evening everyone! Welcome to Homitori Davao! Welcome to a night of pastel colors in celebration of a wonderful life for a girl who is now turning into a fine lady. Because of the significance of this type of event, you do not want to place your faith in just any Disc Jockey.(This is a script I wrote for an 18th birthday party.) This is one of the most memorable events in the life of a special young person and their family. After all the food, entertainment, and Philippine Debut traditions for this wonderful occasion have been completed, the celebrant brings the celebration to a close with a Debutante’s speech in which she shares her life experience and gratitude with her beloved guests. These “candles” are females who know the celebrant and must give a short speech on either their relationship with the celebrant and/or any special birthday wishes they have for their celebrant. This dance is almost always preceded with the memorable “Father and Daughter Dance”.ĭuring the celebration, the debutante also has 18 chosen “candles”. There is also an “18 Roses Dance” where 18 males picked by the celebrant beforehand dance with her after presenting her with a single red rose. The most important dance that the celebrant and her court performs is known as the “Grand Cotillion Dance” which is usually a classic waltz. It is common for the debutante and her court to perform Filipino Folk Dances such as the Tinikling, even wearing the traditional Filipino folk clothing. The birthday celebrant along with her partner and court perform traditional debut dances for their guests. The celebrant’s court usually wears a uniform formal outfit chosen by the celebrant similar to that of a wedding party, while the celebrant typically wears an extravagant ball gown. These 18 people are 9 males and 9 females who the celebrant pairs off into partners. On their 18th birthday, Philippine women throw this large party, complete with their own hand-picked debut court of 18 people. The Philippine debut celebrates a woman entering into her 18th year, while the Spanish Quinceañera takes place on a young lady’s 15th birthday. The difference between the Spanish Quinceañera and the Philippine Debut is the age at which the celebration takes place. It is a coming-of-age celebration for Philippine women that is somewhat reminiscent of the Spanish tradition of the “Quinceañera” celebration. The Philippine Debut is a cultural tradition of the Filipino people. ![]()
