HOST: Wow, blooming and lovely, indeed! Saan nga ba siya nagmana? Kay Mama ba? Or kay Papa? Or baka both? Evidently, before tonight, Alexis has had happy years in a very happy home. The love of a family will always be God’s greatest blessing. 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. Ladies and gentlemen, to answer the question kung saan nga ba nagmana si Alexis, here’s Papa Gerry to welcome all of us to their lovely daughter’s 18th birthday party.

HOST: Well, what is birthday without birthday cakes?  In every birthday occasion, cakes had always been the center in every dinner table.  In the ancient years, the lit candles on the cake represented the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried their prayers and wishes to the God above. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the 18 Birthday Cakes for our debutant. These are the people close to the heart of our celebrant, and whom she looks up to.
