It took hundreds of people working for several days to assemble and install everything. It was an event that was in a level of its own.

I haven’t even mentioned the production numbers, the cocktail set-up, the twins’ wardrobes, the design of the tunnel leading to the event, and yes the raffles prizes that included brand new iPhone 7s and vacation packages. There is even a life-size helicopter that was built for Giann’s grand entrance. We have a towering replica of the Eiffel Tower right smack in the middle of the biggest ballroom in the Philippines complemented by the world’s other iconic structures such as The Stature of Liberty, The Petronas Towers, The Louvre, and many more. There had been many travel theme events already – from weddings to corporate events and surely even debuts but I don’t think I’ve seen anything in the scale of this. But these two can’t be separated and upon Gail’s requests, Giann agreed to join on his 18th birthday as well.

Ordinarily, only Gail would celebrate an 18th birthday and Giann will celebrate his on his 21st. Yes, it is a double celebration but not the usual one. Well for starters, it is the first time we’ve seen a debut event of a girl-boy twins. You may have seen one of our previous coverages here. We don’t get to shoot debut celebrations that much, but those that we get to do are really something else.
