FIL: Ang katangian, gawa, o diwa ng pagiging isang bayani; pagpapakita ng pambihirang katapangan at pagmamahal sa bayan.
EN: heroism, patriotism
This is what OFWs are often called—mga bagong bayani—for their sacrifices. Kabayanihan isn't just for history books; it's the Grab driver working 16 hours for his family, the nurse on a double shift, or anyone who puts others before themselves. It's the ultimate 'sana all' moment for character.
From ka- + bayani + -han, meaning the essence or act of being a 'bayani' (hero).
ROOT MEANING: hero
A highly formal and respected term, often used in nationalistic or historical contexts.
