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.

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
