EN: fame, popularity, peak
This is what happens when your TikTok video goes viral. It's the 'sikat' moment—your 15 minutes of fame, or if you're a true celebrity, a lifetime supply. It's being the 'Marites' topic of the town, for better or for worse. It's the peak, like the sun at high noon ('kasikatan ng araw').
From ka- + sikat + -an. 'Sikat' literally means 'ray' or 'shine,' so 'kasikatan' is the state of being in the spotlight.
Can refer to the state of being famous or the peak period of something (e.g., 'kasikatan ng araw' - high noon).
