Trivia, trivia, trivia While Cham changes wardrobe: From hiphop outfit to cocktail dress
HOST: Grabeh ang bukingan ngayong gabi! Nag enjoy ba tayong lahat? Seems like our gorgeous
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 Chams heart, representing the mother candle
that will be a source of light for all the well-wishers for our dear Cham, heres 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, lets 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. 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 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: 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. Maraming
salamat po for making me a part of this memorable occasion. And if theres one person here
tonight who is more than grateful to see all of you, that would be our beloved celebrant, Cham.
Im 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 three1, 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!
Cham opens the party by a song number with City Lights Band
