EN: delay
This is the default state of Manila traffic. It's the "Filipino time" stereotype personified. When your Grab driver is still 15 minutes away but the app says 2, pagkaatraso. When your internet provider promises to fix your connection today but shows up next week, pagkaatraso. It's the national pastime of waiting.
From `pagka-` (state of being) + `atraso` (delay), from Spanish `atraso` (delay, backwardness).
ROOT MEANING: delay; arrears; something overdue
Used for delays in schedules, payments, or projects.
