Her special day was filled with beautiful details and emotions.

Her auntie Cathy sang a beautiful song for her.

and a few of Mariza’s friends put together an original hit just for her…


The birthday celebrant, along with her partner and court, performed a traditional “Grand Cotillion Dance” for the guests which was a classic waltz.

There is also an “18 Roses Dance” where 18 males are picked by the celebrant before hand. They each dance with her after presenting a single rose. Mariza, with one of of her roses..her Kuya Chris.

Sibling love

During the celebration, the debutant also has 18 chosen “candles”. . Each candle says a few personal words for the celebrant. It was very emotional and touching.. Kind and loving words by each candle, brought everyone to tears.

Cousin Love

When Mariza was a little girl, her father passed away. In honor of her father, Mariza made a wonderful slideshow that took family and friends back in time. I, myself was touched. Definitely a special moment for everyone there. I know Mariza felt his presence…. he truly is missed.





Mariza, and a couple of her cousin’s performed an adorable Hula dance for everyone.

All of Mariza’s uncles surprised her with the song “Beautiful Girl”. It was a tribute to her in honor of their brother. It was a heart warming surprise for Mariza.

A Special performance by her cousin, Eileen and her Ninong Roel.
