EN: is rebelling; is revolting
When you've had enough. This is Andres Bonifacio-level rebellion. But in 2026, it could also be a teenager refusing to wash the dishes ('Naghihimagsik ang kalooban ko!'), or an employee quietly quitting because of a toxic boss. It's the spirit of protest, whether against Spanish colonizers or against your parents' 10 PM curfew.
ROOT MEANING: rebellion, uprising, revolt
