EN: kindness, goodness
This is the lola who gives you extra ulam, the security guard who greets you with a smile every morning, or the stranger who tells you your zipper is down. Kabaitan is goodness in action, the "Pusong Pinoy" spirit. It's the reason you say "Salamat, po" even when the jeepney driver is grumpy. It's a core value, the opposite of "kasamaan" or "pagka-Marites."
