EN: begging (for alms)
This is the act of asking for alms or donations, usually on the street. It's a serious social issue. On a lighter, 'hugot' note, sometimes it feels like you're doing this for your crush's attention: "Nagpapalimos ng pansin."
Specifically refers to begging for money or food, not begging in a general sense (which would be 'nagmamakaawa').
🇵🇭 May mga batang nagpapalimos sa kanto tuwing Pasko.
🇺🇸 There are children begging at the corner every Christmas.
🇵🇭 Para kang nagpapalimos ng pag-ibig sa kanya.
🇺🇸 It's like you're begging for love from him.
