This is an English translation project for Yarudora Portable: Sampaguita (やるドラポータブル サンパギータ). It is the third one in the Yarudora series originally released for PlayStation and later released for the PlayStation Portable console.
The project was originally initiated alongside Double Cast and Sampaguita back in the mid-2010s. It was put on hold for several years before being revisited with a script rewrite in mid-2023.
The release is currently at version 0.95. Playtesters have been able to access all endings, and any bugs encountered were addressed and resolved. The only remaining task is the audio cues during the endings.

Content warning
In comparison to other games in the series, it is significantly lighter. The violence is quite mild at best. The main heroine, Maria, is objectified by the protagonist. He has the ability to easily harass her at the start of the game. In certain scenes, she is hit by a male character. Given her status as a distressed minority, this could make the game somewhat disturbing for some players who are trying to create a safe space for themselves, their friends, and their audience.
The game delves into a lot of language, trivia, and caricatures of people from the Philippines, so some parts could be perceived as sensationalist, stereotypical, and slightly racist or microaggressive. For instance, there’s a segment where the protagonist is rewarded for ridiculing Maria when she tries to teach him different words in Tagalog. This could be seen as offensive.
About percent completion messages
Throughout the game's ending result screens, Maria will audibly read out your percentage rates and give words of encouragement.
While there is no text to accompany this, the author has jotted down some brisk scripts for a few of the integral ones and they can be found in the readme.
