EN: to give importance; to value; to appreciate
This is your love language if it's 'acts of service' or 'quality time'. It's when you finally put down your phone during dinner to actually listen to your partner. To magbigay-halaga is to treat something or someone like they're the last piece of chicken joy, not just some random 'seen-zoned' message.
From 'magbigay' (to give) + 'halaga' (value, importance).
Very common concept. Can be used for people, objects, or abstract ideas like time or effort.
🇵🇭 Dapat tayong magbigay-halaga sa sakripisyo ng ating mga bayani.
🇺🇸 We should give importance to the sacrifices of our heroes.
🇵🇭 Nagsisisi siyang hindi niya binigyan-halaga ang kanilang relasyon.
