EN: to cost; to have a value of
This is the part of the negotiation at Greenhills where you ask, "Magkano 'to?" and they tell you the price. "Nagkahalaga ng limang libo" means it costs 5,000 pesos. But on a 'hugot' level, it's about worth. "Sana malaman niyang magkahalaga ako,"—you're not just a price tag, you're priceless.
From `magka-` + `halaga` (value, price).
