EN: to finance someone's education
This is the ultimate Filipino family investment. It's when a parent, an older sibling (usually the "panganay"), or a generous tita from abroad pays for your tuition and baon. It's not just paying bills; it's a blood-sweat-and-tears-fueled hope that you'll graduate, get a good job, and eventually help the family. The one who does this is the family's designated "in-house CEO and CFO."
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `aral` (study, lesson).
ROOT MEANING: lesson, moral, study
A very common term in the context of family responsibilities and education.
