One of the most popular traditions in the Philippines is once a girl turns 18, there is a special celebration called debut. This signals her entry into the womanhood and society. It is usually extravagant for the well to do families and simple celebration for the ordinary family..
Aside from photo albums as souvenirs, are there any other advantages?
Do you have a similar tradition in your country?
