EN: to disrespect, to be disrespectful
This is the opposite of 'mano po'. It's when you talk back to your lola, put your feet up on the table during a family dinner, or reply 'K' to your boss's long email. **Magwalang-galang** is to actively show you have zero f's—err, zero respect—to give. It's the 'seen-zoning' your parents' chat messages of the verb world.
From 'mag-' (verb prefix) + the phrase 'walang galang' (no respect).
A compound verb phrase that functions as a single action. It implies a conscious act of showing disrespect.
