The universal cure for a bad day, a failed exam, or when your 'situationship' ends. It’s cheaper than therapy and more effective than a motivational quote. A tight 'akap' can sometimes feel like coming home.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *hakəp*.
Often used with 'mahigpit na akap' (tight hug). It's a very common term of endearment and comfort. Often used interchangeably with 'yakap'.
