EN: act of rushing someone; hurrying
This is what your mom does when the whole family is already 15 minutes late for church. It's the "Bilisan mo!" energy. In the office, it's your boss following up on a task 5 minutes after they gave it to you. The opposite of "chill lang".
From Spanish `apura` (to hurry). The `pag-` prefix and reduplication of the first vowel `a` form a noun for the action of rushing someone.
Distinct from `pagmamadali` (the act of rushing oneself). `Pag-aapura` is often done *to* someone or something else.
