EN: to have one's honor stained; to be defiled
The ultimate 'na-scam' feeling in old Filipino movies. It's when a person's reputation, especially a woman's 'chastity,' is ruined. This phrase is straight out of a classic teleserye drama where the bida cries in the rain after being wronged.
From `marungisan` (to be stained) and `puri` (honor, chastity).
A very dramatic and somewhat dated phrase, often found in literature and film. It carries a heavy, serious connotation.
