The OG 'Sparkle.' This is what your eyes do when the food delivery arrives. It's what the sea does at sunset in Boracay. It's the effect on a diamond ring in a jewelry ad. It’s the visual equivalent of a magical 'ting!' sound, perfect for describing anything that catches the light and your attention.
From 'mang-' and the root 'kislap', meaning 'sparkle' or 'gleam'.
