EN: act of shaming; humiliation
This is that feeling when your mom shouts your full name in the middle of SM, or when your Tita asks "Kailan ka mag-aasawa?" in front of everyone at the family reunion. It's public shaming, Pinoy-style. It can be intentional (like a boss reprimanding you in a meeting) or unintentional (like your baby picture being used as a meme). The result is the same: you wish the ground would swallow you whole.
ROOT MEANING: shame; shyness; embarrassment
The noun form of the verb "manghiya" (to shame someone).
