EN: Custom, tradition, practice
This is why you have to 'mano po' to your elders, why there's always a mountain of food at fiestas, and why you can't go straight home after a wake (pagpag!). Kaugalian is the unwritten rulebook of Filipino culture, the 'it's just how we do things here' that baffles foreigners and comforts locals.
From `ka-` + `ugali` (habit) + `-an`, signifying a collective set of habits or 'customs'.
ROOT MEANING: habit; behavior; character
Refers to broader, community-level or cultural habits, as opposed to 'ugali' which is more individual.
