EN: to care for; to nurture; to support
This is the OG 'Tita/Tito' move. It's about taking someone under your wing, whether it's a new hire at the office you guide through the BPO jungle, a younger sibling you help with their homework, or a stray cat you decide to feed. It's a formal, deep word for nurturing and supporting someone.
From Tagalog 'mag-' (verb prefix) + 'andukha' (to care for, adopt).
A formal and somewhat literary term. 'Mag-alaga' is much more common in everyday speech.
