EN: strictly; tightly; firmly
This is the 'how' version. How did your boss give the instruction? `Mahigpit` na bilin. How should you hold on to your dreams (or your sweldo)? `Mahigpit`. It adds that extra layer of 'no-nonsense' to an action.
Modifies a verb to indicate that the action is done strictly, firmly, or with force. The phrase 'mahigpit na salakayin' (to attack fiercely) is an example of this usage.
