EN: to acclaim as a hero, to lionize
This is what we do to our OFWs, frontliners, and that one Grab driver who returns a lost iPhone. We 'mambayani' them—we put them on a pedestal and recognize their big and small acts of heroism. It's our way of saying, 'You're the real MVP.'
ROOT MEANING: hero
A formal and rather uncommon verb, used in contexts of honoring or celebrating someone's heroic deeds.
