EN: to get along with others; to interact with fellow human beings
This is the core of Filipino social life. It's not just about being nice; it's about seeing yourself in others and treating them with respect, whether they're your boss, the security guard, or the 'taho' vendor. It's the opposite of being a snob. It's the reason why we can make friends even in a long queue for the MRT.
From 'makipag-' (to mutually do something) and 'kapwa' (fellow human being, other).
ROOT MEANING: fellow; both
A deep cultural concept related to "pakikisama" but with a stronger emphasis on empathy and shared humanity.
