Philippine debut
The debut (/dɛˈbuː/) is a Filipino celebration of a young woman's 18th birthday, traditionally, the age of maturity in the Philippines. The debutante customarily throws a large party complete with several traditions, similar to quinceañera or sweet sixteen. Although also reaching legal maturity at 18, debuts for a filipino man customarily occur on his 21st birthday, albeit with less formal celebrations or none at all.
