6:05 Former US president Lincoln once wrote,
“[And] in the end, it’s not the years in your
life that count. [But] the life in your years.”
Tonight, we celebrate both the 50 years and
the life of my dear Tita Liberty Meehan.

Once again, good evening everyone. All of

us gathered here have been a part of
 Liberty’s life – one way or another, big or
small man yan it has made a huge impact
on where she is right now. Let us be with
the celebrator as she shares with us the
profound blessings she has received over
the years. Tonight is all about Ms. Liberty
Meehan.
6:10 Grand introduction of Liberty Meehan

Born on January 30, 1969 in Caloocan to

Oscar and Victorina Espiritu, our celebrator
is the youngest of the 5 children. She
attended Torres High School in her
secondary years and went to Metropolitan
Hospital College where she took up
Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Growing
up, our celebrator has been very
hardworking. Living in a not so thriving area
in Valenzuela, she often experienced
flooded roads on her way to school. She
must ride a banca, walk with her legs
submerged in the water and just change to
her uniform when she arrives at school. She
also opted do side work in order not to
further burden her family for school
expenses. However, those minor setbacks
never really stopped her drive to graduate
with flying colors. After graduation, she
worked as a ward nurse at Metropolitan
Hospital as her first job. She then moved to
Ireland on June 16, 2000 to start a new life
and further her career. There, she met the
love of her life, Nicholas Meehan and
together they were blessed with two lovely
kids, Nicholas Lee and James Peter.
Currently, she is working as a nurse in
Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital. Being
dedicated to her family and career, our dear
celebrator deserves this night to celebrate
her special day with the people who
mattered to her the most. Friends and
 family, let us welcome, the lady of the hour,
Ms. Liberty Espiritu Meehan.

6:35 12 Roses (Guns ‘N Roses)

See, Tita Libay, you are surrounded by

people who really love you. Na sa sobrang
pagmamahal sa’yo ay hindi ko na kinaya
ang pagiging competitive! We have with us
here tonight the people who would like to
personally greet you. Sa lahat po ng
magbibigay ng kanilang message, Guns ‘N
Roses po ang theme natin. So paanong
Guns ‘N Roses? A rose will be given to the
celebrator before giving their message,
pwedeng sabihin yung good memories and
unforgettable moments with her. And guns
dahil birthday celebration mo pwede ka
nilang ipahiya ng konti sa mga kwento nyo.
Of course, everyone is very eager to know
more about you. So again, tell all the best
parts about her with the rose and unknown
fun facts about her with the gun! So we’re
expecting na ma-roast ka sa upuan mo na
rin. Let’s get the ball rolling,

1. First, we have her classmate from

Metropolitan Hospital College of
Nursing who now works at _______.
Ano kaya ang masasabi niya?
Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Yolanda
Chan.

Thank you, Ms. Yolly.

2. Next is also Libay’s friend from

college, who now works at _______.
A friend through thick and thin,
please welcome, Ms. Rosemarie
Lin.

Thank you, Ms. Rose.

3. A friend in faith will always be with
you whatever path you take.
Thankfully, our birthday celebrator
was blessed with one. Please
welcome, Ms. Rafelou Agbayani.

Thank you, Ms. Rafelou.

4. An aunt serves as a safe haven for

a child. Why? Because only an aunt
can give hugs like a mother. All the
way from Los Angeles, please give
a round of applause for Ms. Olivia
Valentin.

Thank you, Tita Olive.

5. Having an uncle is like having

another father, a great coach, a
favourite teacher and a big brother
– all rolled into one. Even in his 80’s,
he can always give our celebrator
the lesson she’ll be needing in life.
Please welcome, Mr. Elias
Fernando.

Thank you, Tito Elias.

6. A sister is a little bit of childhood that

can never be lost. Having a sister
means you always have a back up.
Mapa-away man sa kanto, sa kalaro
kasi inagawan ka ng laruan or pag
matanda na kayo sa mga friends na
dalawa pala ang mukha. And I’m
sure you both have lots of memories
like that. Ladies and gentlemen, I
would like to call, the 4th among the
5 Espiritu children, Ms. Eleanor
Manuel.
 Thank you, Tita Ellen.

7. Alam nyo ba, being a brother is

better than being a superhero. Si
kuya yung nandyan kapag
kailangan mo ng braso para buhatin
ang isang mabigat, si kuya ay
nandyan kapag kailangan mo ng
baon sa school, si kuya ay nandyan
kapag kailangan mo ng maglalakad
ng papeles mo, si kuya nandyan
para alagaan ang mga anak mo
kapag may trabaho ka, and si kuya
ang gusto mong kasakasama kahit
saan ka magpunta kasi alam mong
safe ka. Lahat yan present sa buhay
ni Tita Libay. To give a heartfelt
speech, please welcome, Mr. Zaldy
Espiritu.

Thank you, Tito Dy.

8. Tita Libay is blessed with three older

sisters, we have heard the speech
of Tita Ellen. Ngayon pakinggan
naman natin ang isa pa nyang
nakatatandang kapatid, si Ms.
Lorina Espiritu.

Thank you, Tita Tin.

9. An older sister will always be your

friend and defender. She will also
share your sorrows. And she will
also lead you back when you get off-
track. A respectable older sister is
like a mother with whom you can
depend on. You may not always
meet eye-to-eye but an older sister
will never give you an advice that
will lead to your demise. Ladies and
 gentlemen, please welcome, a
mother of three and Liberty’s oldest
sister, Ms. Patricia Katipunan.

Thank you, Ms. Amor.

10. The bond between mother and son

is special. Having a child makes you
realize the importance of life. Pretty
sure heaven on earth is whenever
Tita Libay looks at her son. For a
cute but loving message, I would
like to call on Tita Libay’s youngest,
James Peter “Jepoy” Meehan.

Thank you, Jepoy.

11. A mother’s prayer is so powerful

that it will cling to her child all her
life. She’d be the gentle arms that
embraces her children and shield
them from danger and sorrow. A
mother’s love can never be
measured. A mother’s love will
never be undone. And of course,
none of the children would be here
with us if not for their dear Mama
Nene, please welcome Mrs.
Victorina Espiritu.

Thank you, Mama.

12. They say Marriage is a relationship

in which one person is always right
and the other is the husband! Is that
right everyone? Nah, I’m just
kidding. My Tita Libay has with her
a husband that made her laugh,
wiped her tears, hugged her tight,
watched her succeed and even
seen her fail but has never stopped
 from cheering her on. To give the
12th rose, please give a round of
applause to Mr. Nicholas James
Meehan.

Thank you, Uncle Nicky. And again

thank you, everyone, for sharing
those sweet messages to our dear
Tita Libay.
6:50 Raffle

What an emotional scene/part of the

program that has been. But hey, we’re
meant to be having fun so to get back on
track, let us have our raffle draw with a twist.
We’re not doing this the traditional way but
instead, I would like to request everyone to
look under your chairs and check for this
logo!

Congratulations! Please approach our

game master later.
7:05 AVP

Again, Tita Libay, since this night is simply

dedicated to you, your family and friends
prepared a little something for you. Hindi
man nila araw-araw nasasabi sa’yo kung
gano ka nila na-aappreciate, they now
grabbed this opportunity to let you know
how they feel about you for being a part of
their lives.

Everyone, please direct your attentions to

the screen for this audio-visual
presentation.
7:20 Blowing of Candles

As in every birthday celebration, we have

the blowing of the candles. May I request
 Tita Libay’s family to join her onstage as we
sing her a happy birthday.
7:30 Dinner

I would like to use this quote from the

famous John Lennon, “Count your age by
friends, not by years. Count your life by
smiles, not tears.” So sa tingin nyo ilang
taon na si Tita Libay? Baka hindi lang 50,
mga 100 siguro! Ngayong gabi we had the
chance to celebrate her life and all its
blessings. We see another year in her life
filled with happiness, love and joy
surrounded by her family and friends.

Again, HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TITA LIBERTY.

One of the most important part for tonight is

enjoying each other’s company over the
sumptuous buffet dinner prepared for us.
May I request everyone to please stand for
the prayer before meals,

“Bless us, oh Lord, and these thy gifts which

we are about to receive from thy bounty
through Christ our Lord. Amen.”

Before we proceed to the buffet tables, Ms.

Liberty Meehan will be going around the
tables to have your pictures taken. Para po
mas maayos and mas mabilis, you may
proceed with the buffet table after having
your pictures taken.

We will also open the photobooth from 7:30

to 9:30pm as we have our dinner.

Ms. Liberty, you may now take your photos

with Table No. 1. / Table 2 / Table 3 / Table
4 / Table 5 / Table 6 and finally Table 7.
 As we have our dinner, we will be
serenaded by Mr. Kyle Chen, followed by
Ms. Olivia Valentin, Mr. Rizaldy Espiritu and
Mr. Alfred Chen
8:30 May we request our celebrator to open the
dance floor! Get your disco groove on!

Now, we would like to open the dancing to

everyone!

And once more, I am Hazel Katipunan-

Venzon, at your humble service. Thank you
everyone and let’s get our grooves on.
