2025 Plot twist
24 years old and this is my decision.
My partner and I, naa nami sa saktong age. We both have work na and earning money na pud but we have goals pa gihapon individually and also, as partners.
December 2025, holiday season na. I was excited kay hapit na Christmas and New Year and for sure naay celebrations. Naay part of me na naguol slight kay delayed na akong period. My partner and I decided na mag PT paras peace of mind nako. And then two solid lines appeared sa 3 kabuok na PT nga different brands. Not an error gyud but buntis gyud ko.
Both of us kay happy gyud and my partner even told me before nag test nga among ikeep if ever ma positive ang PT. But sa akong perspective since ako man juy mu carry sa baby and sa tanan burden na atubangonon physically, emotionally and even mentally. and i know, I AM NOT READY.
Both of us have individual goals. Akong partner ready raman siya mahimong papa since mas maguwang man sad siya nako. Sa akong side pud, new pa ko sa akong career and I want to grow more pajud, earn more. Thinking about everything, dili ra kami ang magkalisud, apil pud ang baby if ever gipadayun and I dont want that. I know nga dapat accountable mis amo gibuhat and people will judge man jud pero more problems will arise ra jud in the future kay ako mismo di pa ko ready.
I know it’s wrong, I know daghan mu judge but Im glad I reached out to the right people. No judgment but pure concern and guidance ila ihatag. This is my first time and I really dont know what to do. No knowledge about this process but this team educate me and correct all the misconceptions about the procedure. I truly appreciate that their goal is to educate and spread awareness about the correct and safest way. This journey has been a rollercoaster ride but the team has been with me before, during, and after the procedure. Im so grateful because I feel heard and understood.
If you are like me, first time and afraid because you dont know what to do, you are not alone, the right people will help you. I know it’s not easy and will never be easy. But I assure every woman that you’ll get through this painful decision.
After everything, I definitely learned my lesson.
People will always judge, maski unsa pa imong buhaton. But they won’t carry the consequences with you. I chose to end my pregnancy because I am still studying, still building stability, still saving up—for my future and for the life I want to give someday.
Lisod ang decision, dili sayon, and it came with grief. But mas lisod kung magpadayon ko unprepared—emotionally, financially, and mentally. I chose responsibility over rushing, clarity over chaos.
This decision was made with care, not selfishness. Kay kabalo ko nga kung dili pa ready, mas daghan problema ang motungha in the future—not just for me, but for a child who deserves better timing.
I didn’t tell anyone about this. I was scared and alone. I keep delaying the fact that I am pregnant because it was my first time and I couldn’t handle it. I am still not in the state where I am ready to become a parent. I didn’t know what to do not until I searched about clinics for medicines that will help me. A certain article from Project486 caught my attention and I started reading everything about it and if it was a scam or not. It was not. They are very much legit and considerate to people like me, who have no one to go to. I am grateful that Project486 exists and guides people especially in a restrictive country where it is not open minded about this things.
In my situation right now, its not the judgement that I am worried about. I am worried that I fall short as the breadwinner. I still have a lot of plans for my family and I still owe myself the achievements that I promised myself this early on in my career.
We are a couple from Cebu.
Hindi naging madali ang desisyon namin ng partner ko. Maraming gabi na paulit-ulit namin na iniisip kung ano ang tama at kung ano ang kaya kong panindigan. Nang malaman naming buntis yung girlfriend ko, maraming emosyon ang sabay-sabay na dumating. Takot, pagkalito, at lungkot.
Kaya nag decide kaming mag hanap online, pati narin yung mga pa anakan kung san pwedeng hindi magpa continue ng pregnancy.
Here comes one article/post na nag lead samin dito sa “Project486.com”.
Binasa ko yung mga comment and posts sa mga sumubok at nag decide na din kaming e try na e contact.
Binigyan kami ng procedure kung paano ma contact at napunta kami sa isang specific na tao na si Doc.JJ.
Pero kahit na contact na namin, may mag instance padin na nag dadalawang isip kami. Pero habang tumatagal, mas naging malinaw sa amin ang realidad ng sitwasyon namin. Alam namin na hindi pa talaga kami handa. Not only sa emotion, kundi pati sa aspetong pinansyal at sa direksiyon ng buhay namin. Wala akung stable na work, yung girlfriend ko lang yung mas may maayus na work. May mga pangarap pa kaming kailangang buuin at mga responsibilidad na hindi pa namin kayang balansehin kung may anak na agad. Personally, ayaw kong dalhin ang isang bata sa mundo na hindi ko kayang bigyan ng sapat na pagmamahal, oras, at seguridad na nararapat sa kanya.
Hindi namin ginawa ang desisyong ito dahil wala akong pakialam o kung ano man. Sa katunayan, ginawa namin ito dahil alam naming ang isang bata ay dapat sa mas maayos na simula sa buhay.
Hindi ito kuwento ng kawalan ng pagmamahal. Ito ay kuwento ng pagkilala sa sarili, ng responsibilidad, at ng pag asa na balang araw, kapag handa na kami sa emosyonal, mental, at pinansyal, magiging ibang kuwento na ang isusulat ko para sa aking buhay.
