EN: humility, modesty
It's that rare trait of being a total rockstar at something but acting like you're still learning the ropes. It's when you win the lottery and still eat at the local carinderia. It's the opposite of the "flex lang nang flex" culture.
From `kababaan` (lowness) + `ng` + `loob` (inner self, will). Literally "lowness of the inner self". The roots are 'baba' and 'loob'.
A highly valued Filipino trait, often associated with good character and respectfulness.
