EN: to take care of; to manage; to look after
This is the official verb of being a parent, a fur-parent, a plantito/plantita, or even the team lead who has to look after their 'pasaway' team members. It's the act of making sure something or someone doesn't just survive, but thrives.
From `mang-` (actor-focus verb prefix) + `alaga` (care).
The 'pang' prefix is often used instead in modern spoken language (e.g., 'pangalagaan'). 'Mangalaga' is slightly more formal or literary.
