FIL: Ang pinakamataas, pinakamatindi, o pinakamahalagang punto ng isang pangyayari, kuwento, o karanasan.
EN: climax; peak; culmination
The ultimate 'eto na!' moment. In a teleserye, this is the part where the real mother is revealed, the villain gets their comeuppance, or the main characters finally kiss in the rain. Sa trabaho, ito yung peak season na halos 'di ka na umuuwi. Sa 'hugot', ito yung point na napuno ka na at sumabog ka na. The peak of it all.
From 'ka-' (state/quality) + 'sukdol' (extreme, to the limit) + '-an' (place/result).
ROOT MEANING: extreme; utmost; ultimate
A literary term often used in analyzing stories, but also applicable to any situation that reaches a peak intensity.
