Sunshine Cruz and Cesar Montano Gather For Chesca’s 18th Birthday in Bali!
Instead of a debut, Chesca chose to intimately celebrate her 18th birthday in a beach resort in Bali, Indonesia!
While some daughters and parents would love to throw a debut, others like celebrity daughter Chesca would prefer something more intimate for her 18th birthday: like what appears to be a week-long stay in Bali, Indonesia! Besides having some quiet family time with her parents Sunshine Cruz and Cesar Montano, she also discovered a few of Indonesia’s features including the jungle trails, nightlife, and the restaurants nearby where they were staying. It definitely looks more fun than a debut!
Why Some Daughters And Parents Prefer Trips Over Debuts
Traditionally, a debut is when parents introduce their kids to other members of society. Usually, it’s through family friends, and associates with whom they also begin building connections. In some cases, arranged marriages can come out of these debuts especially when the parents are business partners to protect the family’s financial interests.
But ever since the pandemic, debuts have lost their appeal. Invitations have become more purposeful and limited to family members, celebrations have become more intimate to prevent the disease from spreading around, and families are also learning to establish boundaries with family members who make them uncomfortable, usually not inviting those who do. As the daughter of celebrities Sunshine Cruz and Cesar Montano, Chesca may prefer something with a little less limelight for her 18th birthday — a rarity for someone who’s from entertainment royalty.
Besides her sisters, even her brother, Diego, and some of her best friends joined the trip!
Changing Definitions Of Welcoming Adulthood
Celebrations don’t always have to be big. Sometimes, we envy those who throw grand celebrations because of all the dresses and the beautiful event stylings. But for those who have been exposed often to that, sometimes, it’s better to have something intimate. Others, who are not too much of a people person, may even prefer an out-of-town trip with those who they want to celebrate it with. Because for Chesca, having her whole family welcome adulthood with her on an intimate trip for her 18th birthday to a different sort of place may be more purposeful than a grand debut.
