FIL: Nasa kalagayan ng sukdulang kahirapan; lubhang mahirap at halos walang anumang pag-aari.
EN: extremely poor, destitute
This isn't just 'petsa de peligro' broke. This is 'isang kahig, isang tuka' (one scratch, one peck) level of poverty. It's when you're so broke, your wallet has cobwebs and even the rats in your house have packed up and moved out. The superlative form of 'mahirap'.
The repetition of 'dukha' serves to intensify the meaning to the highest degree.
