EN: aura; vibe; presence
This is the vibe you project. In modern Pinoy slang, it's not just a mystical energy field, it's the act of projecting confidence, style, or just being extra for a photo or a social media post. 'Mag-aura' means to pose, to project, to serve looks. It's your personal brand's energy signature. Think of that friend who's always ready for an OOTD shot, even just to buy suka sa tindahan. That's peak aura.
From English 'aura', from Latin 'aura', from Greek 'aúra'. The modern Filipino slang usage focuses on the act of projecting a persona.
The slang verb form 'mag-aura' or 'um-aura' is very popular, meaning 'to project a certain vibe' or 'to pose glamorously'.
