EN: Fervor, ardor, intensity
This is the energy in the room when the Philippines is in a basketball final. It's the passion of a rallyist fighting for a cause. It's the intense 'hugot' you feel listening to a Moira song after a breakup. It’s not just a feeling; it’s a fire in your soul. Peak emotional intensity.
From ka- + alab + -an. 'Alab' means 'blaze' or 'glow', so 'kaalaban' is the state of being ablaze with feeling.
A poetic or literary term used to describe intense emotions, passion, or devotion. Not commonly used in casual conversation.
