You're 26, you should be able to make life decisions on your own, even if your parents don't agree. As much as you love your parents, you also have to prioritize YOUR family. May anak ka na. Andyan ang tatay. Hindi pa man kayo kasal, they should come before anyone else. You also have to think how far you're willing to sacrifice your own family para lang masunod ang gusto ng magulang mo. Hanggang kailan ka willing na hindi magkasama si baby, ikaw, and yung tatay kasi ayaw pa ng magulang mo at feeling nya hindi ka pa nakatulong sa kanila. Although that's also faulty kasi hindi ka naman ipinanganak sa mundo para iahon ang buong mag-anak mo sa kahirapan. May pangarap ka rin, may sarili kang buhay. It sounds like you and your SO are ready to commit to each other naman na. May pandemic man o wala, kung desidido kayo na ito na yung time para magpakasal, go na. Basta stay safe and sumunod sa protocols. Pwede naman mag-celebrate nang maramihan pagkatapos ng pandemic. Even going abroad to work, possible pa rin naman yan in the future. If things turn out well, pwede mo pang isama buong pamilya mo kung saan ka man magta-trabaho. You need to establish boundaries with your parents. Kahit naman anak ka nila, you are an adult now, with adult responsibilities, and you should be free to make life decisions on their own. After all, buhay mo yan. Future nyo ang nakasalalay.
