EN: to hold or celebrate (despite difficulties); to get through
This is the Filipino spirit of "the show must go on." Kahit gipit, you find a way to celebrate a birthday. Kahit umuulan, the fiesta continues. It's about making something happen, pushing through adversity. "Kahit simple lang, basta mairaos natin ang Pasko nang magkakasama." It's resourcefulness and resilience in verb form.
From `i-` (verb prefix) + `raos` (getting by, surviving).
Often implies overcoming some difficulty or limitation to make an event happen. A close synonym is 'idaos', but 'iraos' carries a stronger connotation of overcoming challenges.
