Does the battery have a strong charge? If yes...

Is your gasoline a E10 blend? If yes, dump out the current contents of your gas tank and replace with fresh gasoline just bought from the gas station.

Crank the engine a few times to get the fresh fuel into the system.

It should start now.

petron XCS ang gamit ng auto ko, E10 ba un? strong pa battery ko eh, and yes nag cacrank sya kaso di tumutuloy umandar.. and pwede bang hindi na i-drain yung fuel? palagyan na lang ng bagong fuel, no more drain is it ok?

As of January 2010 may halo nang ethanol ang XCS. Petron Blaze na lang ata ang walang halo, Caltex Gold E10 na din.

check the mechanical condition first by checking the camshaft timing or performing a cranking compression test. the pressure should be around 150 +/- 10%. then check the ignition if there is spark at the spark plug end. while the spark plugs are still out after the compression test, read the spark plugs. refer to chart that you can download for spark plug tip condition

may redondo pa ba? baka drained lang yung battery. kung yun lang, pwedeng kadyot/jumpstart tapos paandarin mo ng matagal. better yet, dalhin mo yung battery for recharging or check kung sira na.

your request for help is so vague. what make, model, year, transmission/transaxle type- manual or automatic. now the final questions:
does the crankshaft turn when cranked?
if the crankshaft turns when cranked, and the engine does not start, is this your situation? many people will jump out of the window without looking out where they will land. too many guesses from a vague and incomplete data you provided

may redondo/crank pa ba pag nag-start ka? kung meron, it means you still have a strong battery. then if this is the case, try starting your car while pressing the accelerator pedal.

else, re-charge your battery.

Is the battery charged?

Is the charge strong? No? Then replace the battery with a new one.

What fuel was used in the tank? If you don't know, drain the fuel tank and replace with fresh gasoline. Gasoline can expire if left too long in a car. E10 gasoline can expire as quick as 3 weeks in a car's fuel tank.

question reiterated:
does the engine crank and engine does not start, or
engine does not crank at all

pre, buy new battery muna and we will start from there.
My assumption is that, na drain and battery mo flat dead...so kahit ano start mo, patay talaga...

if you are not sure, borrow ka muna ng battery, and try mo start. Im sure it will.

You must have left sonthing on in your car, like the lights, or anything that consumed your battery dead. Pa check mo sa battery shop, kung grounded ang electrical system mo.

Happy Driving. Good luck
