Bugoy Cariño confesses he almost had his child with EJ Laure aborted.
On June 18, on Karen Davila’s recent YouTube vlog, Cariño shared the hardships of being a father at 16.
“Una po talaga ang desisyon namin ipalaglag na lang yung baby. Parang bata pa ko nun, hindi ko alam na buhay pala yung mawawala kapag ipinalaglag mo or something,” Cariño admitted.
“Sabi ko sarili ko, o sige para lang mabalik yung career ko. Alang-alang sa family ko para makatulong ako talaga nang sobra at para mabalik yung mga shows na ibinigay sakin. Yung tiwala sa’kin ng ABS. Sige, ipalaglag na lang.”
Cariño realized that having an abortion equates to taking the life of a human being.
“Kapag pinalaglag ko pala ito, parang itong yung isa sa pinakamalaking kasalanan na magagawa ko sa buhay ko,” he said.
“‘Bunso, pag yan pinalaglag mo ang bata, huwag mo na kong tawaging tatay. Pag pinalaglag mo yan, di ka tunay na lalaki,’” Cariño recalled what his father had told him.
Cariño thanked his father for giving him the strength to continue Laure’s pregnancy.
In December 2017, Cariño disappeared from It’s Showtime after the allegations of him impregnating his girlfriend.
On September 3, 2020, via Instagram, Cariño revealed he is already a father.
