"Maligtas" is being rescued, whether it's from a burning building, a toxic relationship, or a "petsa de peligro" situation where your friend treats you to lunch. A true blessing!
From ma- (ability/accidental verb prefix) + ligtas (safe).
Can be used in physical, emotional, financial, or spiritual contexts.
