EN: pity
It's that "awww, kawawa naman" feeling. You feel this when you see a stray kitten in the rain, or when your friend tells you their sad "sawi sa pag-ibig" story for the fifth time this week. It's the emotion that makes you want to give your last piece of chicken joy to someone who looks hungrier.
From `pagka-` (feeling/state of) + `awa` (pity, mercy).
A deep emotion, often leading to acts of kindness or help.
