EN: to show consideration, to have regard for
This is what you do when you want to blast your K-Pop playlist at 2 AM but remember your housemates have a 6 AM shift. It's the 'pakisama' spirit in action. You consider others, you don't just 'go lang nang go'.
From 'mag-' (verb prefix) + 'alang-alang' (for the sake of, in consideration of).
ROOT MEANING: consideration; respect; sake
Often used with 'sa' (for). 'Mag-alang-alang sa...' means 'to be considerate of...'.
