(Singing of a Birthday Song)

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 RAPUNZEL 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!

(Special Number)
HOST: Earlier, we were serenaded by the very talented . At this
moment, are we ready to move and groove? I can’t here you, are we ready to move and groove? Ladies and gentlemen,
here’s a dance number from our debutant herself! Let’s put our hands together for RAPUNZEL and friends!

(The Making))

HOST: AS WHAT I HAVE QUESTIONED EARLIER THAT, What is the essence of this celebration without further
knowing some of the important information of our debutant? "While some of you are still feasting on the delicious buffet
and the decadent dessert, I would like to ask you to turn your attention to our projector for another AVP. You will be
surprised about some of the most undisclosed information and intriguing revelations of Rapunzel’S 18 TH BDAY “THE
