That is correct. Two of my great-nieces had them. I went to one. I assumed that they are popular in the Philippines and that IB would have guessed it.

We don't really celebrate the 15th birthday in the Philippines, the 18th (or debut) is more important.

I actually had no idea what that meant, but it sounded right given the letters we had!

Usually in the US it is a sweet 16 party. However my niece's husband is from Bolivia and it is a big deal on his side of the family. Actually our side doesn't even do a sweet 16 party.
I thought it might be big in the Philippine given the Spanish influence there.

I actually had no idea what that meant, but it sounded right given the letters we had! It is a coming of age party for girls on or about their 15th birthday. There is a court of attendants (like bridesmaids and grooms) and there are special dances performed.

We do something very similar, but for the 18th birthday. I wonder where we got that... I know Sweet 16 is big in the US, so I always wondered why the special age in the Philippines is 18
