EN: to disown; to renounce
The most dramatic scene in a teleserye, usually done by a rich haciendero parent to a rebellious child. 'ITINATAKWIL KITA!' But in modern terms, to **magtakwil** is the final form of blocking someone. You don't just block them on social media, you block them from your life.
From 'mag-' (verb-forming prefix) + 'takwil' (disowned, renounced).
A very strong and formal word for disowning, most often used in the context of family or deeply held beliefs.
