EN: a shake to settle contents; overflowing
This is that final jiggle the rice vendor gives the measuring cup to make sure it's packed. It's a key part of the ultimate blessing mantra: 'siksik, liglig, at umaapaw' (packed, shaken down, and overflowing). Think of your blessings (or your GrabFood order) being so abundant that you need to shake the container to fit it all in, and it's still spilling over.
Almost always appears in the idiomatic expression "siksik, liglig, at umaapaw" to mean 'abundant blessings'.
🇵🇭 Ang mga biyaya niya sa buhay ay tunay na siksik, liglig, at umaapaw.
🇺🇸 His blessings in life are truly packed, shaken down, and overflowing.
🇵🇭 Isang liglig pa sa kahon at siguradong magkakasya na ang lahat ng donasyon.
🇺🇸 One more shake of the box and all the donations will surely fit.
