[UPX] Anyone else received the "Ikaw ang mag-aahon sa ating angkan..." speech from any of your relatives during the grad season?
I am well aware that our economic situation makes it very hard for me to provide for a lot of people and I have to make sacrifices. Since my parents don't have a retirement plan, I'll likely have to support them as they get older. Because of that, I'm considering not starting my own family so I can focus on taking care of them. I don't really mind, though, since I'm not that interested in having kids and I'm not very sexually active anyway.
However, during family dinner kanina, my unemployed uncle suddenly turned into an orator and delivered his "Ikaw ang mag-aahon sa ating angkan..." speech. His wife also revealed that she has only been giving the minimum required contribution for SSS which is definitely not enough for their retirement. They cannot rely on their son (my cousin) since he got someone pregnant before he could even finish his studies. I did not know how to respond and I just stayed silent throughout. I am also a Laude grad from engg. which means wala daw dapat akong excuse para di maging successful.
Are there any current or former UPX graduates here who were in the same situation?
