EN: most pitiful
This is when the situation is so bad, it's beyond 'sad boi' hours. It's full-blown telenovela drama level of suffering. Think of someone who lost their job, got ghosted, and their ulam for lunch fell on the floor all in one day. That's kahapis-hapis.
From `ka-` (denoting quality) + reduplication of `hapis` (sorrow, anguish).
The reduplication of 'hapis' intensifies the meaning, signifying the highest degree of sorrow or misery.
