Trivia, trivia, trivia – While Cham changes wardrobe: From hiphop outfit to cocktail dress

debutant really enjoyed tonight. From the shared memories to a game trivia, Cham has shared a part of
her growing years with all of us. At sabi nga ni mareng Willa Cather? “Where there is great love, there
are always wishes.” Because birthdays are always new beginnings, new endeavors 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. Starting off with the woman dearest to Cham’s heart,
representing the mother candle that will be a source of light for all the well-wishers for our dear Cham,
here’s Mommy Cynthia Lagua!

HOST: Many ancient cultures believed that smoke carried their prayers to the heavens. So, at the count
of three, Mommy Cynthia and members of the 18 Wishes, let’s say “May all our wishes come true” and
blow our candles together. 1, 2, and 3…

Everybody blows the candle

HOST: 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. Today’s 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 Cham 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.

HOST: Tonight’s 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. Maraming salamat
po for making me a part of this memorable occasion. And if there’s one person here tonight who is more
than grateful to see all of you, that would be our beloved celebrant, Cham. I’m giving the floor to our
dear debutant to give her message for all of us.

Thank you message from Cham

HOST: The night is young, and so are we, diba? Are you ready to party? We have just actually started.
Again, thank you for having me here to celebrate with all of you. Isang malakas na “Happy birthday,
Cham! naman diyan. At the count of three…1, 2, 3, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHAM! Our debutant is not just a
pretty face but also a very talented lady. To get the party started, throw your hands up in the air for
CHAM with the City Lights Band! This is your host, John Irene Del Campo, enjoy the rest of the night
everyone!

EMCEE: Sorry for the intrusion in the continuous flow of our celebration but I would like to announce
that we will have our dinner this time. After the dinner, the family would like to request everybody to
