This is a deep cut. You won't hear this in a typical BPO call. Think of epic poems, old kundiman songs, or indigenous festivals like 'Kadayawan' (from 'madayaw'). It's that feeling of awe and respect. It's praise, but make it majestic and culturally significant.
Common in other Philippine languages like Ilocano and Hiligaynon, borrowed into formal or literary Tagalog.
Very rare in conversational Tagalog but may appear in formal or literary contexts, or when discussing culture from other Philippine regions.
