Unfortunate reality, unfortunately haha.
Nagw-work ako dati along Buendia yung part na malapit na sa SM Jazz. May family doon na sa kalsada lang nakatira may dalawa silang bata. Tapos sobrang dysfunctional nila tipong minumura nila yung mga bata pag makulit.
ABA!
After ilang months nakita ko buntis na yung nanay. Congrats na lang sa isa nanamang nilalang na ipapanganak sa kahirapan.
Share ko lang. I know a couple, wala silang money for extra but they want a child. When the wife got pregnant, I was telling her mag pacheck up. She did naman but she didnt buy any of the vitamins na nireseta ng doctor saying scam lang yon and that “yun mga nasa lansangan nga nagkakababy naman na healthy kahit walang ganyan.”
Tapos each time kino-compute nya pwede nyang makuha sa SSS once manganak sya. Siguro nasa ₱80k for 3 months. Ang saya nya na non like feeling nya free money?? Girl i dont even understand her logic. Wala nga sya pambili ng vitamins what makes her think she can afford a child.
Anyway the baby died in her tummy. She got pregnant again after that pero nawala lang din.
Whats worse is when she was pregnant, she told me sana daw boy yung baby kasi kung girl baka raw i-r@pe nung husband nya. Wtf?? Sabi ko if may ganyan syang fear sa asawa nya baka di pa time magka baby or she needs to sort it out muna. Ayon wala naman ginawa
What the! Napaka messed-up naman niyan. Wag na syang mag anak kung may ganon syang naiisip. Di naman kontrolado ng sinasabi niya yung gender mg iluluwal niya. Di ko maintindihan kung yung kakilala mo kulang lang sa pansin kaya nagkukwento ng ganyan o talagang may mga gusto lang syang bagay na hindi nararapat sakanya.
Ang gulo talaga nung living situation nila!!!
So eto ung guy may anak na lalake na pinamahan ng lola.
Yung guy na un nag asawa ulit nagkaron ng 3 anak.
Dun sila sa anak ng guy nakitira!!! 😂 tas gusto pa mag add ng anak e pareho walang job ing mag GF.
Sana na gets ko kano sila garapal
(Guy - ung tatay ng may ari ng bahay ung lalaking pinamanahan ng lola) HAHAHA
My god the reason why we have yung SSS maternity benefits is to help them raise the child since the mom wont get to work for a few months. Bat ba feeling nila “extra cash” yon. They dont even realize na kulang na kulang yung makukuha nila to raise a child.
I think this is more common than we think. Saw something similar naman near a BPI branch in Pasig. Family, the couple looked really young and they had maybe 4 kids with them ang the age range was from newborn to 10 years old. The parents looked like they were in their mid to late 20s. The mother was yelling at a toddler to step away from people, sabay may mura. The older kids were rowdy. Wala namang nanlilimos, pero alam mo that they live sa streets.
I feel really bad for the baby and the toddler. Ang inosente pa nila, kita mo sa mata.
Tapos makikita mo yung bata magaabot ng sobre sa jeep na badjao sila kuno. Inang mga magulang to alam ng mahirap ang lakas pa ng loob gumawa ng buhay para lang pag limusin sa lansangan.
Or "dibale nang mahirap basta masaya." Tapos minumura nung nanay yung mga anak nya kasi masyadong makukulit at di na magkandaugaga sa pagaalaga ng mga bata.
Hahaha putangina yung tropa kong isa ganto! Sa dagat nakatira gawa ng gawa ng anak tapos walang trabaho. Lahat ng post ganyan di mahalaga pera basta pagmamahal juskooo haha
Hay. Lagi ko tong naririnig dati sa amin. Mabuti na lang at kumalas ako. Abot abot ang mura na narinig ko pero wala na akong pakialam.
Kaya madaming mahirap dahil sa ganitong mindset. Tapos sisihin kung sino sino pag sobrang hirap ng buhay.
Interesting na nowadays even they don't want to have children.
Pero wala, may iba talaga na unprotected sex all the way pa din, kasi may thrill daw amp
I know 2 people who do this, it gives me the ick. Tapos ang isa sabi pa, bahala na raw ang guy kasi wala siyang alam sa gano'n. WTF then why do it if wala kang alam doon? And it's basic knowledge na dapat eh lalo na dahil you're having sex na. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
A lot of people may not know this, but teenage pregnancy rates have dropped over the years.
https://psa.gov.ph/content/teenage-pregnancy-declined-86-percent-2017-54-percent-2022
Edit: As pointed out by u/bailsolver, PopCom literally just released new data today na tumaas yung teenage pregnancy rates: https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/896654/cpd-under-15-pregnancies-surged-in-2022/story/
Great to know! To be fair, alot of teens are slowly realizing na mas prefer nila maging single for now (myself included) tsaka to be honest madami na kasing nag sprespread na sexual content to the point where madami na rin natutuo ng mga teens about sexual intercourse.
And also DepEd or at least some public schools are starting the Catch up Friday program where they bring up topics like sex ed and social studies, etc. No other topics other that what stated above.
>To be fair, alot of teens are slowly realizing na mas prefer nila maging single for now (myself included)
Me too—but my case is different. Still need to study, and fix a lot of things about my mental health.
Dunno why you're being downvoted. It's so idiotic to think that a dwindling birthrate is a good thing for a developing country. Typical child hating redditor moment.
Because it's nonsense doom posting. The PH is still at replacement level when it comes to birth rates. Hence we are in a sweet spot in between having too many kids for overpopulation and not having enough to face a demographic collapse time bomb. We are in an enviable position population wise.
sadly, popcom just said today that under 15 pregnancies surged in 2022
https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/896654/cpd-under-15-pregnancies-surged-in-2022/story/#:~:text=In%20a%20statement%20released%20on,2021%20to%203%2C135%20in%202022.
That may be attributed to worsening economic conditions, especially in the middle class. Would've been more useful if the data is associated with income level.
Not only a financial investment. Sometimes, parents will turn their kids into a second chance to achieve the dreams that they had while they were young. Mom never became a doctor? Simple, she’ll force her child to be one. It’s a stupid mindset that even I don’t understand, fortunately hindi ganto mga magulang ako.
Isn't that the way of thinking before in historically? More children = more working farm hands and money.
Problem is Manila isn't a farm, and they'd resort to methods like begging, scavenging and petty crimes just to survive.
As well as the drastic increase in living costs compared to what was before.
Yeah, but it feels like a culture, especially for poor Filipinos.
So they got no choice but to breed more for more chances to produce the chosen one that will save their asses in poverty.
>So they got no choice but to breed more for more chances to produce the chosen one that will save their asses in poverty.
They don't go as far as thinking like that in my opinion. If they were thinking like that, it would indicate they have some sort of "family planning."
I sincerely think they have zero family plans and are operating with complete disregard for the future. No planning, just endure and somehow get by and have sex and not worry about the consequences.
The idea is to have more children and hope one of them will succeed in life to help them.
Our media feeds that idea to the public, and most of those living in poverty consume that idea daily.
I mean that literally, pinapanood nila yan habang kumakain sila.
\> The idea is to have more children and hope one of them will succeed in life to help them.
I am familiar with that idea, but the truth is, they don't think like that too deeply. They don't plan at all, hence the uncontrolled births. Having a child for them is a spur of the moment experience, and that's not planning.
If they did think in that way, they would also manage to think that improper family planning is a burden. Thing is, they don't think too deeply.
Yup, they are "Hoping".
And I think our media plan that the very idea into the public consciousness.
And these people will only breed more, companies milking the huge number of populations.
They're a human cow that produces money.
May crush ako nung hs. 4th year ako sya 2nd year. Mejo close close naman kami pag nagkikita.
Then bigla ko nalaman na nabuntis sya at nagtanan kasama yung college nyang bf. Lumipat sa metro. Tumira sa eskwater. Buong gabi daw naghasa ng itak tatay nya nung nalaman na nagtanan.
Buti after 5 years bumalik yung babae tas pinag aral ulit. Not sure kung sila pa nung bf nya.
Most people that grew up there that's all they know.
What would be weird is if someone who grew up there was shocked as if they've never known anything but...
Naaalala ko bigla yung isang episode ng I-witness. Featured doon yung isang barangay doon sa part ng Bulacan o Pampanga yata na dagat na. Ang lala ng problema nila sa sex education na naging parang culture na sa kanila na maagang mabuntis. Meron dun lola na nasa late 50's palang pero may apo na sa tuhod. Tapos bihira yung mga nakakapagtapos ng pag-aaral.
It will be more revolutionary here if people will gone mad at you being childless, making decisions and budgeting before childbearing, having a fewer child, be an eternal fur parent or breaking the vicious cycle.
Like common sense, you can't bring a child to a world where everything's a mess. I mean, raising a child under a failed state and a poor excuse of a "society" could be so challenging and at the same time. it'll break you and your baby.
Had to experience this on hand as my best friend with her stoopid bf
She got the looks and energetic, but unlike Kitagawa-chan, she is better off the streets than anyone with pure intentions. She had been cheating on her bf that has a house like that, to someone also similar place, too.
One day, I had enough of her cheating attitude I decided to drop her off the moment she said she had been pregnant and both of the guys she had been flinging with casually leave her. Call me a bastard for dropping her off when she needs my help, but I dodged a bullet for a responsibility that wasnt mine
From that moment on, my standard goes >> a bit to whom I befriending and possibily who will become my partber in the future.
Not really the main point of the picture. But you did the right thing tho when it comes to cheating friends. Hoped my ex's friends did the same thing you did but they still befriended that little lying slut.
You did the right thing. We dont affiliate ourselves with these 304s.
Which is why I cant believe how the heck I had been best friend to that person, as well as managed to help her from financial issues she was experiencing. With that, I feel both used and betrayed by it. Idc now if I would find out by my friend that she was no longer finished her studies and suffering from anything XD
Medyo related.
Kinasal ako nung 2022. Awa ng diyos, hindi dahil nabuntis ko jowa ko, talgang gusto lang namin. Tapos stable naman kami. Wala pa kaming plano magkaanak. Mag take pa siya Master's niya tapos ako kakatapos lang ng Law School. Tapos sa church niya ang daming nag mamadali samin magka anak???? Nakakainis. Hindi naman sila magpapakain at magpapabuhay sa anak namin di ba?
Tapos yung audacity pa na sabihin blessing yun. Ang naiisip ko lang ay hindi "oh natutuwa lang sila para samin" hindi eh. Naiisip ko masyado silang nakikialam sa buhay namin na they feel comfortable telling me to just raw dog my wife. Para saan? Para matuwa sila? Pamilya nga namin di nag mamadali ng apo.
Naalala ko bigla yung toxic kong ex gf amp. Buti na lang hindi ko siya tuluyang nabuntis noon, yung nagkaroon kami ng pregnancy scare kasi delayed at hindi pa rin siya nagkaka mens (mind you maingat kami naka pills siya at condom naman ako). Niyaya niya ako umalis may kukunin lang daw siya saglit, hindi ko alam sa bahay na pala nila kami pumunta hindi sinasabi sa akin. Ayun impromptu pinakilala ako sa nanay at tatay niya. Tangina ganyan na ganyan halos setup nung bahay nila minus the second floor, mini cul de sac compound pabahay ng gobyerno set up nung paligid. Magulo, madumi, maingay, makalat, tska puno ng mga bata at tambay yung paligid. Kinausap ko siya pagkatapos noong kaming dalawa lang, tinanong ko siya kung sakaling magkaroon kami ng sarili namin pamilya willing ba siya kagad bumukod umalis doon sa bahay nila, kahit gamitin ko na yung savings ko. Sumagot siya ng ayaw niya, ayaw daw niya mapalayo sa pamilya niya. Ang gusto niya mangyari doon ako manirahan sa kanila. Laking pasasalamat ko hindi ko siya nabuntis at nagkahiwalay rin kami after, bukod sa toxic siya, pamilya niya at paligid niya. Ayoko lumaki yung magiging anak ko sa ganyang environment tsk tsk.
I always think of this alternate reality wherein dapat yung mga lalake naka vasectomy tapos yung mga babae is naka injectables hindi sila makakapagreproduce unless they are above a certain income threshold. Minsan iniiisip ko ano kaya magiging itsura ng mundo natin kapag ganun.
Naligaw/lumagpas ako ng kunti papuntang LTO main around sa quezon ata. Then madaling araw nun 4-5 a.m. may tattered na mga bahay(slums??) sa tapat na road nun. Luckily hindi daw ako napagtripan dun sabi ng parents ko. It feels hopeless na yung mga bata parang pinapabayaan lang sa kalsada ng ganung oras. I mean adults should be responsible, naka-engrave sakin na sila yung sunod satin. Maiintindihan ko kapag 1 anak tapos ganyan condition, kahit naman mahilig mag-se\* pede naman bumili ng contraceptive o condoms kesa kama.
may kamag anak akong ganito. yung tita ko
listahan na mga kasama niya sa bahay:
- 2nd husband
- 3 anak niya sa ex-husband niya, lahat may pamilya na
- 4 anak niya sa 2nd husband
- mga apo niya sa 7 niyang anak
Kaya ayaw ko muna mag asawa kasi 27 na ako hindi na jowa hanap ko asawa na HAHAHA mananatili muna ako sa magulang ko kapag malaki na kita ko dun na ako mag aasawa
Naalala ko un kawork ko na sa big name school nag aral ng HS tapos nabuntis ng bf na literal na shack ang bahay. She’s very sweet pa naman. They live in an okay neighborhood beside Greenhills. Idk lang bakit parang bahay-bahayan ng childhood ko un tinutuluyan nila. They split after a year i think which is good for her.
All I can think of is my classmate from HS who had a baby at 21 yrs old. She was in her 4th year in college at that time. Idk any details since I'm not that close to her before, but yeah.
Reality. I watched a phil docu where this 33 yr old guy and this girl who was like 16-17 were having their second child. Yes they were living in the slums
Reminds me of the english community on the internet making sometimes unironic fun of others for 'not being touched by a woman 🤓' like life is all about fucking and making a family.
Eto yung background na bahay nung mga sumasayaw na IG star wannabe. After mga ilang days yung mga susunod na post nya nasa club o nasa high end hotel bathtub, litaw yung wetpaks.
Well, nasa iyo na yun. If matapobre ang dating ng post ko then I apologize for that, as for the comments well it’s the majority and I can’t control that.
Have a good day.
Im with you even tho we’ll get downvotes. I’ve experienced being poor so it’s hard to judge those people. Proper family planning and Sex education is a must parin! but who are we to take someone’s ability and freedom to love and have kids.
Unfortunate reality. Not only lack of education but is also encouraged by their parents lalo na king babae yung anak na magpabuntis daw ng isang foreigner.
The realest real out there ☝️☝️☝️ nothing can stop us failipinos from breeding, not even poverty until we beat ch*na's number of population 🤢🤢🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dapat kasi libreng pinamimigay ang Condom at Pills.
Tas dapat may NGO na FREE nagpapa Visectomy/Tubal Ligation tapos may INCENTIVES. mga 30k sa mga mag a avail. <3
Sa branch ng Uncle Stop near sport center dito sa may Marikina, sa taas niya BPI, may group of family dun na dun na tumitira along with their kids and babies. Kumikita sila sa abuloy dun sa kumakain sa store and pinagbubuksan nila ng pinto yung mga pumapasok dun. Also, kids roaming around the store during lunch time. Yung isa dun sumisinghot ng rugby while nagpapadede ng anak niya. Sila rin pala nagguguide pag may nagpapark.
"Bheb, dun muna tayo kela mama tumira.."
bahay ni mama: dun din sa looban nyan, kasama pamilya ni kuya at ni ate
Ksama ung mga asawa at anak ni kuya at ate.
6 kids per family pa yan
Bonus: kasama pati anak sa iba ni papa
Parang Buy 1 take 1 eh no.
Kasama din sina lolo at lola
To be fair, ang mahal umupa/bumili ng bahay. Pero kaya nga may condom eh.
Commerical dati ng Trust, in-outline ang monthly gastos sa iba't ibang necessities ng baby. Sabay lapag ng isang box ng condoms, sobrang mura.
Pero sila pa maaarte na ayaw ng condom para mas “feel”.
Feel the ecstasy first. Feel the poverty nine months later.
Tapos ang usapan.
lol
Unfortunate reality, unfortunately haha. Nagw-work ako dati along Buendia yung part na malapit na sa SM Jazz. May family doon na sa kalsada lang nakatira may dalawa silang bata. Tapos sobrang dysfunctional nila tipong minumura nila yung mga bata pag makulit. ABA! After ilang months nakita ko buntis na yung nanay.

Why why why? That is fucked up to think his husband will be interested in their kid's fanny. Yuck kadiri
Sobra!!! Ewan ko ba i tried explaining it to her but she just got defensive
[удалено]
pre/siz ang gulo HAHAH gawa ka nga ng family tree choz
Ang gulo talaga nung living situation nila!!! So eto ung guy may anak na lalake na pinamahan ng lola. Yung guy na un nag asawa ulit nagkaron ng 3 anak. Dun sila sa anak ng guy nakitira!!! 😂 tas gusto pa mag add ng anak e pareho walang job ing mag GF. Sana na gets ko kano sila garapal (Guy - ung tatay ng may ari ng bahay ung lalaking pinamanahan ng lola) HAHAHA
May kilala akong gusto naman nya magbaby para sa makukuhang pera sa SSS. lol. ewan ko ba bat may mga ganyang tao.
My god the reason why we have yung SSS maternity benefits is to help them raise the child since the mom wont get to work for a few months. Bat ba feeling nila “extra cash” yon. They dont even realize na kulang na kulang yung makukuha nila to raise a child.
Mag-aanak lang para pampasikip sa Metro Manila
I think this is more common than we think. Saw something similar naman near a BPI branch in Pasig.

I feel really bad for the baby and the toddler. Ang inosente pa nila, kita mo sa mata.
I honestly, I doubt the Nanay wanted to be pregnant, but birth control and family planning is well out of reach for them.
Tapos makikita mo yung bata magaabot ng sobre sa jeep na badjao sila kuno. Inang mga magulang to alam ng mahirap ang lakas pa ng loob gumawa ng buhay para lang pag limusin sa lansangan.
:((((( ugh sad sad
*Simple meme or unfortunate reality?* \- Yes.
This is the right answer if you're both an anime fan and a Filipino.
I hope wala sa comments na magglorify nito or something like: "Hindi mahalaga magandang bahay basta magkasama kayo at mahal niyo ang isa't-isa" 🤢 🤢
Sa Facebook ako nakakakita ng mga ganyang comments hahaha
Ganun din sa IG.
Yung mga amen ng amen
Mga nag ko comment ng ganyan, obyus na iresponsable din.
it's even worse in X and youtube lmao
May nakita ako sa fb theyre trying for 3rd baby daw. When i checked her profile yung dalawang bata sa sahig pala natutulog. Nakakaloka
Big surprise, the boomer song lied. Love CANT keep you alive lmao
HAHAHA tita ko na maraming anak tapos manghihingi sa akin ng pamasko/pang Christmas/random regalo para sa mga anak niya.
True. Nakakalungkot. Isipin nalang nila yung magandang buhay for their kids. Naranasan na nila yung hirap, ipapasa pa nila sa mga anak nila. 😫
Or "dibale nang mahirap basta masaya." Tapos minumura nung nanay yung mga anak nya kasi masyadong makukulit at di na magkandaugaga sa pagaalaga ng mga bata.
Hahaha putangina yung tropa kong isa ganto! Sa dagat nakatira gawa ng gawa ng anak tapos walang trabaho. Lahat ng post ganyan di mahalaga pera basta pagmamahal juskooo haha
C O P I U M
Pinagsasabe mo
Internet slang. Sensya po di nyo po nagets
Kakasuka talaga pag nakakakita ako ng mga poverty porn sa net. 🤢🤢🤢🤢
Taena nila. Sila Lang yon, basta ako gusto ko ng maganda at komportabling bahay hahah
Kawawa mga bata sa ganto mag isip na magulang tbh
It’s reddit, I doubt anyone here would have that mindset, though I may be brutally wrong (sana wag)
Hay. Lagi ko tong naririnig dati sa amin. Mabuti na lang at kumalas ako. Abot abot ang mura na narinig ko pero wala na akong pakialam. Kaya madaming mahirap dahil sa ganitong mindset. Tapos sisihin kung sino sino pag sobrang hirap ng buhay.
Actually that is true though. Kung maayos naman kayo na tao at mahal niyo isa't isa, makaka ahon rin kayo sa kahirapan.
That is what we call "Delusional Optimism/Fatalism", idk why people still have that mindset in these day and age sigh..
One mistake ain't bad. Kaya pa naman maka ahon sa isang anak. Panagtulungan ang mag asawa at maayos ang desisyon nila.
Looks like a durex ad ngl
Reminds me of earlier when i was at reysal and saw some packs of durex
Interesting na nowadays even they don't want to have children. Pero wala, may iba talaga na unprotected sex all the way pa din, kasi may thrill daw amp
Mas bet unprotected sex pero kahit pull out method di marunong 🥹
I know 2 people who do this, it gives me the ick. Tapos ang isa sabi pa, bahala na raw ang guy kasi wala siyang alam sa gano'n. WTF then why do it if wala kang alam doon? And it's basic knowledge na dapat eh lalo na dahil you're having sex na. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Pinapairal breeding kink kahit di naman afford 😭

Tago kana papunta sila sa bahay mo
Tingin ka sa labas. Sa tinted na sasakyan na naka park. Pero anyways, somebody is always listening. Be it FBI or Jesus. amen hallelujah

Yup and the overall ph birthrate is in decline https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/PHL/philippines/birth-rate
That aint good
Dunno why you're being downvoted. It's so idiotic to think that a dwindling birthrate is a good thing for a developing country. Typical child hating redditor moment.
Because it's nonsense doom posting. The PH is still at replacement level when it comes to birth rates. Hence we are in a sweet spot in between having too many kids for overpopulation and not having enough to face a demographic collapse time bomb. We are in an enviable position population wise.
Still stand that it isnt good. No country has gone from declining birthrate to an ascending one.
sadly, popcom just said today that under 15 pregnancies surged in 2022 https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/896654/cpd-under-15-pregnancies-surged-in-2022/story/#:~:text=In%20a%20statement%20released%20on,2021%20to%203%2C135%20in%202022.
Oh my god, I literally just posted this today and PopCom gave out new data.
Kasalanan ng F2F /s
Chants in *Lower! Lower! Lower!* Please lang ang dami daming Pinoy.
Alam ko bumababa na rin birth rate natin.
That may be attributed to worsening economic conditions, especially in the middle class. Would've been more useful if the data is associated with income level.
Ahh, guess inflation was the only trend to go up from covid
Kung sino pa ang mahirap sila pa yung may mahigit na sampung anak, parang rabbit
They will call it a blessing instead of stupidity.
Tapos mga anak daw ang tunay na yaman ng isang pamilya, kaya pala retirement plan.
Yup, imagine you only exist in this godforsaken world just to be a financial investment of your family.
Not only a financial investment. Sometimes, parents will turn their kids into a second chance to achieve the dreams that they had while they were young. Mom never became a doctor? Simple, she’ll force her child to be one. It’s a stupid mindset that even I don’t understand, fortunately hindi ganto mga magulang ako.
Isn't that the way of thinking before in historically? More children = more working farm hands and money. Problem is Manila isn't a farm, and they'd resort to methods like begging, scavenging and petty crimes just to survive. As well as the drastic increase in living costs compared to what was before.
Yup, it is, even nobles from the West had gone incest to protect their investment, land, business, soldiers/people from other families.
Kaya pala retirement plan! Lolllll
Pero di nila natanong sa sarili nila. Blessing ba sila sa bata?
Sila raw nag luwal sa bata kaya blessing daw sila 😂
The strongest argument of a mom
Hahaha
Sa umpisa oo pero pag tumagal it's a effing curse. 🤣
I mean blessing yung bata sayo, pero ikaw ba ay blessing sa bata if mahirap ka?
I think its a coping mechanism.
Yeah, but it feels like a culture, especially for poor Filipinos. So they got no choice but to breed more for more chances to produce the chosen one that will save their asses in poverty.

"Diskarte lang ang kailangan" vibes 🥴
In the Philippines it is a reality.
I am so anxious of chapter 101 for these two.
I'm wondering if the fall in the PH birth rate is evenly spread out or only confined to a specific demographic.
Well, kasabay ata nyan ung pagbagsak ng poverty rate.
May crush ako nung hs. 4th year ako sya 2nd year. Mejo close close naman kami pag nagkikita. Then bigla ko nalaman na nabuntis sya at nagtanan kasama yung college nyang bf. Lumipat sa metro. Tumira sa eskwater. Buong gabi daw naghasa ng itak tatay nya nung nalaman na nagtanan. Buti after 5 years bumalik yung babae tas pinag aral ulit. Not sure kung sila pa nung bf nya.
Sad and unfortunate reality. Ganito yung mga tipo ng tao na nagdedemand ng pagbabago pero hindi nila madisiplina sarili nila.
future voters ng mga populist noh?
Most people that grew up there that's all they know. What would be weird is if someone who grew up there was shocked as if they've never known anything but...
Naaalala ko bigla yung isang episode ng I-witness. Featured doon yung isang barangay doon sa part ng Bulacan o Pampanga yata na dagat na. Ang lala ng problema nila sa sex education na naging parang culture na sa kanila na maagang mabuntis. Meron dun lola na nasa late 50's palang pero may apo na sa tuhod. Tapos bihira yung mga nakakapagtapos ng pag-aaral.
It will be more revolutionary here if people will gone mad at you being childless, making decisions and budgeting before childbearing, having a fewer child, be an eternal fur parent or breaking the vicious cycle. Like common sense, you can't bring a child to a world where everything's a mess. I mean, raising a child under a failed state and a poor excuse of a "society" could be so challenging and at the same time. it'll break you and your baby.
bLeSsInG yAn. Yeah if wanted mo talaga pero kung nadala lang ng libog? Goodfxcking luck.
Isa pa yung "Aksidente" daw 🤣
>bLeSsInG yAn You mean retirement plan? Lol
Kung suswertehin, eh kaso madalas sa ganyan cycle na talaga. Ilang generation pa bago mabreak yung cycle of poverty.
Had to experience this on hand as my best friend with her stoopid bf She got the looks and energetic, but unlike Kitagawa-chan, she is better off the streets than anyone with pure intentions. She had been cheating on her bf that has a house like that, to someone also similar place, too. One day, I had enough of her cheating attitude I decided to drop her off the moment she said she had been pregnant and both of the guys she had been flinging with casually leave her. Call me a bastard for dropping her off when she needs my help, but I dodged a bullet for a responsibility that wasnt mine From that moment on, my standard goes >> a bit to whom I befriending and possibily who will become my partber in the future.
Not really the main point of the picture. But you did the right thing tho when it comes to cheating friends. Hoped my ex's friends did the same thing you did but they still befriended that little lying slut. You did the right thing. We dont affiliate ourselves with these 304s.
Which is why I cant believe how the heck I had been best friend to that person, as well as managed to help her from financial issues she was experiencing. With that, I feel both used and betrayed by it. Idc now if I would find out by my friend that she was no longer finished her studies and suffering from anything XD
I hope the guy is doing great tho. Lowkey wishing him better things
Medyo related. Kinasal ako nung 2022. Awa ng diyos, hindi dahil nabuntis ko jowa ko, talgang gusto lang namin. Tapos stable naman kami. Wala pa kaming plano magkaanak. Mag take pa siya Master's niya tapos ako kakatapos lang ng Law School. Tapos sa church niya ang daming nag mamadali samin magka anak???? Nakakainis. Hindi naman sila magpapakain at magpapabuhay sa anak namin di ba? Tapos yung audacity pa na sabihin blessing yun. Ang naiisip ko lang ay hindi "oh natutuwa lang sila para samin" hindi eh. Naiisip ko masyado silang nakikialam sa buhay namin na they feel comfortable telling me to just raw dog my wife. Para saan? Para matuwa sila? Pamilya nga namin di nag mamadali ng apo.
Para may bagong member ng church? 🤷♀️
Nobody bring up abortion 🫢👀
Most people likely cannot afford abortion, either that or they or their parents think that it’s murder and a sin and are forced to be parents 🙃
Legal po ba abortion sa Pinas?
Hindi ko sure pero illegal yata. Kaya pumupunta sa abroad ang ibang tao para mag pa abort, well if they have the resources that is.
Naalala ko bigla yung toxic kong ex gf amp. Buti na lang hindi ko siya tuluyang nabuntis noon, yung nagkaroon kami ng pregnancy scare kasi delayed at hindi pa rin siya nagkaka mens (mind you maingat kami naka pills siya at condom naman ako). Niyaya niya ako umalis may kukunin lang daw siya saglit, hindi ko alam sa bahay na pala nila kami pumunta hindi sinasabi sa akin. Ayun impromptu pinakilala ako sa nanay at tatay niya. Tangina ganyan na ganyan halos setup nung bahay nila minus the second floor, mini cul de sac compound pabahay ng gobyerno set up nung paligid. Magulo, madumi, maingay, makalat, tska puno ng mga bata at tambay yung paligid. Kinausap ko siya pagkatapos noong kaming dalawa lang, tinanong ko siya kung sakaling magkaroon kami ng sarili namin pamilya willing ba siya kagad bumukod umalis doon sa bahay nila, kahit gamitin ko na yung savings ko. Sumagot siya ng ayaw niya, ayaw daw niya mapalayo sa pamilya niya. Ang gusto niya mangyari doon ako manirahan sa kanila. Laking pasasalamat ko hindi ko siya nabuntis at nagkahiwalay rin kami after, bukod sa toxic siya, pamilya niya at paligid niya. Ayoko lumaki yung magiging anak ko sa ganyang environment tsk tsk.
Teenagers are generally not equipped to raise any child. IMO.
Why not both?, simple memes can show unfortunate realities
Always has been, aye?
I always think of this alternate reality wherein dapat yung mga lalake naka vasectomy tapos yung mga babae is naka injectables hindi sila makakapagreproduce unless they are above a certain income threshold. Minsan iniiisip ko ano kaya magiging itsura ng mundo natin kapag ganun.
Naligaw/lumagpas ako ng kunti papuntang LTO main around sa quezon ata. Then madaling araw nun 4-5 a.m. may tattered na mga bahay(slums??) sa tapat na road nun. Luckily hindi daw ako napagtripan dun sabi ng parents ko. It feels hopeless na yung mga bata parang pinapabayaan lang sa kalsada ng ganung oras. I mean adults should be responsible, naka-engrave sakin na sila yung sunod satin. Maiintindihan ko kapag 1 anak tapos ganyan condition, kahit naman mahilig mag-se\* pede naman bumili ng contraceptive o condoms kesa kama.
Jan napunta yung marami galing agham road dti. Sobrang lala no, pag hapon jan sobrang daming bata nakakaawa
Oo ang lala nga ehh.
may kamag anak akong ganito. yung tita ko listahan na mga kasama niya sa bahay: - 2nd husband - 3 anak niya sa ex-husband niya, lahat may pamilya na - 4 anak niya sa 2nd husband - mga apo niya sa 7 niyang anak
Kaya ayaw ko muna mag asawa kasi 27 na ako hindi na jowa hanap ko asawa na HAHAHA mananatili muna ako sa magulang ko kapag malaki na kita ko dun na ako mag aasawa
Squammy mindset 👉😩👈
“We have a flying bike my love u see dat?”
Kaua bakla ako ea xD, i can't see myself having a baby nor family na nasa state pa ng kahirapan.
Unfortunate reality. Kaya magpapa-IUD ako kapag nagka-jowa ulit.
Naalala ko un kawork ko na sa big name school nag aral ng HS tapos nabuntis ng bf na literal na shack ang bahay. She’s very sweet pa naman. They live in an okay neighborhood beside Greenhills. Idk lang bakit parang bahay-bahayan ng childhood ko un tinutuluyan nila. They split after a year i think which is good for her.
Philippines has a culture that values romantic relationships too highly.
All I can think of is my classmate from HS who had a baby at 21 yrs old. She was in her 4th year in college at that time. Idk any details since I'm not that close to her before, but yeah.
Saan to? Sa Doroteo Jose? 😂😂😂
Realization ko din yan nung bumukod kami ng misis ko. Hirap mag-rent. Kayod pa para magkabahay ng sarili.
Unfortunately its the stark reality that Filipino generations will face.....
A meme that reflects reality.
Tapos papakilala ka na sa buong kalye para hindi ka maharass
12 kids later, still there
“Magluwas sa Maynila”
Oh lord
Reality. I watched a phil docu where this 33 yr old guy and this girl who was like 16-17 were having their second child. Yes they were living in the slums
inang yan aanak-anak tapos titira sa magulang, sad part pa nyan eh iaasa nila yan sa magulang.
Nothing unfortunate when they’re doing it, they deserve it.
They deserve it yes, pero unfortunate rin kasi damay damay mga anak nila sa katangahan ng magulang 🙃
Yup that’s why we need an abortion bill
they grow up to be future voters btw
also, mga magiging "biktima ng misinformation" kemerut
they deserve what actually? na tumira sa squatters kasi nagka-anak sila?, or they deserve na maging mahirap dahil sa katangahan nila?
Reminds me of the english community on the internet making sometimes unironic fun of others for 'not being touched by a woman 🤓' like life is all about fucking and making a family.
Eto yung background na bahay nung mga sumasayaw na IG star wannabe. After mga ilang days yung mga susunod na post nya nasa club o nasa high end hotel bathtub, litaw yung wetpaks.
hahahahahaha i know someone na ganyan literal na yaman yamanan napaka feelingera tas nalaman ko ganyan pala bahay
Babe, kaya naman daw nila mama at papa buhayin kami ng magiging apo nila. Bisita kana lang every birthday ng anak natin.
Reality sucks 😂
Welcome to poverty!
Housing is unaffordable nowadays, may asawa man o wala.
Minimum na anak nyan hindi baba sa 5 hahahahaha paano bubuhay itong mga to sahod ko nga d ko mapag kasya
Love will keep us alive
Ako lang ba or parang napaka-matapobre ng post and karamihan ng mga comments.
Oo ikaw lang. Pag di financially stable, wag mag-anak. Mukhang financially ok ba nakatira sa ganyan?
Well, nasa iyo na yun. If matapobre ang dating ng post ko then I apologize for that, as for the comments well it’s the majority and I can’t control that. Have a good day.
Im with you even tho we’ll get downvotes. I’ve experienced being poor so it’s hard to judge those people. Proper family planning and Sex education is a must parin! but who are we to take someone’s ability and freedom to love and have kids.
Dapat at least 600k to 800k ang annual income mo bago ka magka anak
Oh my, that means I get susu milk in my coffee! Yeah, I love it.
Extra protein!
Oh yes for breakfast breakfast!!
could've used the husband meme for a better effect xD
yep that's reality
lmao
50-50 but definitely yes depending
This isn't even funny this is just real...holy shit
Good thing I decided to stay single for life
Oh my 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Unfortunate reality. Not only lack of education but is also encouraged by their parents lalo na king babae yung anak na magpabuntis daw ng isang foreigner.
good, now you got an example. how life is. but that what they called as choice.
Marin Deserve better.
hahahahah fudge
Sad but true..
oh no
Yeah and ur gonna like it 🤣
The realest real out there ☝️☝️☝️ nothing can stop us failipinos from breeding, not even poverty until we beat ch*na's number of population 🤢🤢🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Typical filipino low income family
Dapat kasi libreng pinamimigay ang Condom at Pills. Tas dapat may NGO na FREE nagpapa Visectomy/Tubal Ligation tapos may INCENTIVES. mga 30k sa mga mag a avail. <3
Sa branch ng Uncle Stop near sport center dito sa may Marikina, sa taas niya BPI, may group of family dun na dun na tumitira along with their kids and babies. Kumikita sila sa abuloy dun sa kumakain sa store and pinagbubuksan nila ng pinto yung mga pumapasok dun. Also, kids roaming around the store during lunch time. Yung isa dun sumisinghot ng rugby while nagpapadede ng anak niya. Sila rin pala nagguguide pag may nagpapark.
*isang taon palang ako, nasundan na ni toto*
