In an exclusive interview with Metro.Style, Francine said that she chose Dreamland as her debut theme as her way of realizing her childhood wish to become a princess. “’Yung theme po ng birthday celebration ko, dreamy siya… Gusto ko rin kasi nu’ng bata ako ’yung parang maging princess, ganyan. Gusto ko nasa castle ako, naka-gown ako, naka-dress. So ’yun po ’yung ginawa ko na theme,” she said.
[Translation: “The theme of my birthday celebration is dreamy… I wanted as a child to be treated as a princess. I wanted to have my own castle, to wear a gown, to wear a dress. So that’s what I took inspiration from for my theme.”]
Among those who attended were her closest family and dearest friends from the industry.
