EN: to care for; to nurture
This is more than just 'to take care of.' It's the verb that defines Filipino family values. It's what a mother does for her child, what an 'panganay' does for their younger siblings, and what an OFW does for their family back home, but in a hands-on, nurturing way. It’s love in action, often involving feeding, comforting, and protecting.
Has a stronger emotional and nurturing connotation than 'mag-alaga'.
