The ultimate 'we got this' move for besties, couples, or workmates during a hell week. It's about finding strength in each other, literally leaning on a friend's shoulder when you're tired, or figuratively having someone to cry to. This is the core of 'damayan.'
From `sandal` (to lean). The suffix `-an` implies a reciprocal or mutual action.
