Eagerly, she embarked upon her day, her steps light and infused with anticipation, making her way toward her beloved parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fernandez. The air buzzed with Maya's infectious excitement as she sought the answers to the secrets they held.
As she saw Maya, a mischievous smile curved Mrs. Fernandez's lips as she beckoned her daughter closer. "Oh, my precious Maya, prepare yourself for an experience beyond imagination! Close your eyes and trust us, dear."
With her eyes sealed shut, Maya surrendered herself to the tender guidance of her parents. Whispers and muffled giggles wrapped around her, evoking a tantalizing thrill that coursed through her veins.

“Viva, Viva, Viva,
Mabuhay, mabuhay
Mabuhay ang santong aming pinutungan”
With a smile that emanated from the depths of her soul, Maya resounded, "Mabuhay!" The weight of the magical crown rested gently upon her brow, and delicate flowers adorned her hair.
Applause erupted, harmonizing with cheers of jubilation that soared through the air. Maya knew that this day would forever be etched in the tapestry of her memory, an irreplaceable treasure—testifying to the limitless beauty and bliss that life graciously bestows.
