EN: astonishment, amazement, wonder
That 'pog-face' you make when you see the 'pasabog' finale of a fireworks display. It's your reaction when your friend who never studies suddenly tops the exam. It’s a mix of 'wow' and 'paano nangyari yun?!'.
From 'pagka-' (state of being) + 'gilalas' (amazement).
A more formal and poetic term for surprise. 'Pagkamangha' is a more common synonym.
