/ma-ba-bang-lo-OB/
FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging mapagkumbaba, hindi mayabang, at may paggalang sa kapwa anuman ang katayuan sa buhay.
EN: humble, modest
The opposite of a 'flexer.' This is that person who's super successful but still eats at the carinderia, says 'po' and 'opo' to elders, and doesn't need to post their achievements 24/7. It's the ultimate green flag. True power doesn't need to announce itself.
A compound word from 'mababa' (low) and 'loob' (inner self, will). Literally 'low inner self,' but contextually means humility, not low self-esteem.
A highly valued Filipino trait. 'Mapagkumbaba' is a very close synonym. The antonym is 'mayabang' or 'mapagmataas'.
