FIL: Ang kakulangan ng paggalang o respeto, lalo na sa mga bagay, lugar, o taong itinuturing na sagrado o marangal.
EN: irreverence
Like taking a selfie with a wacky face during a solemn ceremony. It's a stronger, more formal version of 'walang galang'. It's the act of treating something important like it's a joke. The kind of behavior that would make your lola gasp and say "Ay, nako!"
From `ka-` (marker for abstract nouns) + `walang` ('without') + `pitagan` ('respect', 'reverence'). Literally 'the state of being without reverence'.
ROOT MEANING: respect; reverence
A formal term, often synonymous with `kawalang-galang` but with a stronger connotation of sacrilege or disrespect for something held in high regard.
