EN: negligence, carelessness
This is the 'bahala na si Batman' attitude but with negative consequences. It's when you forget to pay the Meralco bill, submit a report full of typos, or leave the sinigang boiling until it's dry. It's a deep-level carelessness, the formal term for being 'pabaya'.
From a less common root "siwal" (neglect) with the circumfix "ka-...-an".
A formal and somewhat rare word. "Kapabayaan" is much more common in everyday speech.
