FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging matapat, totoo sa salita at gawa, at hindi nagtataksil sa isang tao, simulain, o tungkulin.
EN: loyalty, faithfulness, honesty
Ito yung hinahanap mo sa jowa mo, sa best friend mo, at sa politiko (good luck with that last one). It's the opposite of 'seen-zoning' your client's messages or telling your boss 'On the way na po!' when you're still in the shower. Katapatan is real, no-filter loyalty and honesty.
From `tapat` (true, loyal) + `ka-` and `-an` affixes, forming an abstract noun for 'the quality of being tapat'.
ROOT MEANING: loyal; faithful; honest; sincere
