A genteel celebration of culture, the FMA Annual Presentation of Debutantes and their Escorts is also a reflection of the accomplishments of these young Filipino women and their arrival into adult society, done with elegance and formality. For the young women, it is a moment never to be forgotten. For the young men, it is a memorable participation in a coming of age celebration in the cultural tradition of the Filipinos, reflecting a part of their heritage from Spain.
