EN: to take care of
The verb that powers OFWs, nurses, moms, and fur-parents everywhere. It's more than just 'to care'; it's the whole package—feeding, cleaning, protecting, worrying. It's what you do for a baby, a sick relative, a pet, or even your precious plantita collection. The '-an' suffix implies a more dedicated, ongoing action. It's the active form of love.
'Mag-alaga' is the simpler form, often for a single subject. 'Mag-alagaan' can imply reciprocity or a more dedicated, ongoing process, but they are often used interchangeably.
