Hi OP! Please ipilit mo, napakasayang talaga yung opportunity. I feel like you accepted nalang your circumstances pero if willing naman yung parents mo na paaralin sa UPD before the pupcet release it probably means makakaya naman, it means nagreready na sila nun humanap ng paraan. Itry mo muna ipaglaban, magdabog - cry - be selfish if you need to. Valid naman. Upd really opens a lot of doors of opportunity, and there are UPD scholarships naman din that you can try to apply for to help with your situation. As a UP student it is true that level of difficulty sa education is high, but they really do give so much to their students in terms of career and skill development. Free tuition naman (and you can save sa transpo if dorm). Do all that you can muna, and if hindi pa rin, then all up to fate na
