  Dear Chloe,

  Avid listener here and also a follower of your page. Basa-basa lang ako dati, never thought I’d also be sending you a DM. Malaki problema ko DJ Chloe, my 19-year-old daughter just told me na buntis sya. I don’t know how to feel, how to even react and what to even think. Hindi ko rin alam anong dapat gawin muna o agad. Ipapakasal ko ba? Sa ngayon, ‘di ko alam kung gusto kong sabunutan or suntukin ‘yung tatay ng bata. ‘Di ko rin alam kung magagalit ako sa sarili ko for allowing this to happen. DJ Chloe, paki enlighten naman ako please.

  Hi Maya,

  This is not the best time para magsisihan or mag-isip kung sino ang nagkulang at sino ang may kasalanan. I believe the best thing to do is to ask your daughter kung ano ang gusto niya. EXPLAIN to her that whatever she decides on doing, she will also have to be responsible for the outcome. Tulad ng nangyari sa kanya ngayon. Of course, you will have to tell her to keep the baby, and that’s the right thing to do, we are not a nation that supports abortion. Now, if she becomes a mother, her life will change 100%, nanay ka niya, you know very well what I’m talking about. It’s there already. At least, magkakaapo ka na, and you can be very sure na apo mo ‘yan, dahil babae ang sa’yo.
