EN: cowardice
This is that feeling when your friend asks you to confront the chismosa neighbor but you suddenly have an 'important call' to take. It's choosing to 'seen-zone' a difficult conversation. It’s the opposite of 'tapang' and is often the secret ingredient in many bad decisions.
From ka- (state/quality prefix) + duwag (coward) + -an (state suffix).
