What is debut for the Filipino community?
When Filipinas reach 18 years of age, it becomes one of their major milestones in life; this signifies their step into the world of adulthood, the coming of age as they say.
The Filipino community will already treat them as “dalaga” — pertaining to a single young Filipina who has passed the stage of puberty or an eligible young Filipina.
Accordingly, the parents will now allow their daughter to start dating someone and have a boyfriend.
It’s like the parents’ or guardians’ public announcement that their daughter can already be courted by eligible young men or bachelors.
In light of this, the parents will give their best to organize a celebration.
A traditional debut is composed of programs that takes place during the celebration. However, today, twists and gimmicks have been added.
'The once overly formal celebration has become fun and exciting yet fairly expressive and descent.'
The Traditional Debut
- The parents give a message for the debutante and the guests.
- 18 pre-selected males among the debutante’s friends and relatives will compose the 18 roses. They will dance with her one by one in waltz music and then each will give a single long stem red rose.
- The last dance is always reserved for the father, or a father figure in case of the biological father’s absence. In some celebrations, the father-daughter dance is separate from the 18 roses while some have both.
- Next, 18 pre-selected females will deliver a message about their relationship with the celebrant. Finally they end it with a special wish for the celebrant’s success, health, future, etc. before lighting a candle.
- In the event that her father or grandfather isn’t present, the debutante will be given 18 white roses. This will signify his presence in one of the most important celebrations of his daughter’s life.
- The entourage, including the debutante and her escort, will participate in a “Cotillion”, a dance that’s rehearsed for months prior to the celebration and also performed in the tune of waltz music. This is considered as a very significant part of the debut.
- The celebration ends with the debutante giving a speech regarding her life experiences, what she learned up to this point in her life, and finally thanking her family and everyone who supported her throughout her journey into adulthood.
- Afterwards, everyone will be invited to dance in the center like a disco. Even though this is entirely optional, most debuts are incomplete without a disco party after the event.
The Modern Debut
The debut modern version still has the traditional programs, but is given some twists:
- In the 18 roses, the first dance will be the debutante’s father, and the last one will either be her special someone, suitor, or her best-friend.
- There is a new program named 18 shots wherein the participants will give a speech just like in the 18 candles but this time they will wish the debutante a good future with a toast and shot of an alcoholic drink.
- Another new program is the 18 treasures or 18 symbolic gifts. In here, the debutante’s friends and relatives give a gift, then a short explanation as to why that certain gift was chosen.
- Modern debuts have different themes such as a costume party where the entourage dress up as characters based on the theme like superheroes. There are also debuts having runways like a fashion show, modeling or something, and the debutante along with the female members of the entourage show off their extravagant outfits. Traditional debuts always have a ball theme.
- In some instances, the debutante will pick the best-dressed guest for the females while her escort will choose that for the males and then the winners will be asked to ask a question about each other and then dance romantically.
- When You Turn 18 – What If Feels Like to Be the Debutante
So when is your debut? You must be very excited about it. This is the time when you’re formally introduced by your parents to everyone in your community, especially to a few eligible bachelors. - 12 Facts About Philippine Debut That’ll Amaze You
The Philippines has a rich culture and tradition, and one of the most notable is the “coming out party” for their young women at 18 – debut.
What's common between the two?
Both traditional and modern debuts always have a grand entrance where the debutante either marches down a long set of stairs or through a procession along with the entourage.

There is also an audio-video presentation that shows the important milestones of her life. Photographers and videographers are hired to document the debut.
Dinner will be served at the organizer’s time of choosing, and there is also a cake cutting ceremony.
oh my gosh it's so beautiful i like it so much
The Philippines have some wonderful traditions. I wish the girls here did not date until 18, what a great idea. Great hub, shared,
How beautiful, and wonderful in celebration! The gowns are stunning, and it must be a life experience for the girls who are becoming adults. Thank you for sharing such a delightful ceremony with the world!
I don't wear dresses a lot but they sure look pretty.

A lovely article and the photos are beautiful, too. Thank you for sharing. We sometimes have Debuts, too, but they are often with quite a number of girls making their debut at the same time. However, it is still a very important occasion for them - and for them to remember in later years.
Both versions of the debut sound exciting. A worthy tradition! Thanks for sharing it.
Beautiful article, and thanks for sharing this beautiful tradition.
Eva, I enjoyed learning about the debut - how lovely the young ladies and gowns are. The traditional and modern debut are both very interesting. It is so good to learn about traditions of your culture.
Well done on the hub. Voted up and shared.
You can celebrate your debut anyway you want. It is your birthday. It is your party.
There are no hard rule. But I advise you to plan so you and your guests will appreciate the entire party.
Here is sample plan for debut celebration.
Guests arrival/ Registration
Serving of refreshing drinks
Welcoming Speech (From emcee or a parent )
Prayer
AVP presentation
Grand Entrance
Debutante speech
Dining (games can be organized while some are dining)
Eighteen candles (speeches)
Messages and wishes from family member
Singing of birthday song
Cutting of birthday cake
18 roses or 18 dances
Debutante’s speech
Distribution of Giveaways and Prizes
Party
There are other debut program flow samples out there like the one from Debut Ideas website. Debut program flows are similar to each other because the main activities for debut program are the same: prayer, dining, 18 roses, debutante speech. Again, there's no strict rule for debut celebration as long as you keep yourself and your audience happy.
Here are my other tips for debut program:
1.Reserve food for late comers
(Kawawa naman kung maubusan, may regalo pa naman atang dala)
2.Assign a person who can assists your guests to their seats.
(Kailangan may mag-asikaso sa mga taong mahiyain)
3.Always give your guest a reason to stay till the end of your party
(Iwasan natin ang pagkakaron ng mga bisitang eat-and-run)
4.Huwag kalimutan magpasalamat
(Chance mo na 'to para magfeeling artista at mag-thank you sa mga sponsor)
