Ah, the national mood. 'Hirap' is the default setting of adulting. The traffic? 'Ang hirap!' The exam? 'Sobrang hirap!' To save money? 'Napakahirap!' It's the struggle, the grind, the 'pagod na ako' feeling. It can mean difficulty ('mahirap ang math') or poverty ('naghihirap sa buhay'). It's the reason BPO and OFW industries are booming. Ang hirap ng buhay, bes!
