EN: suppression, the state of being restrained
That feeling when you want to burst out laughing at a serious meeting, but you hold it in. Or when you want to tell your crush how you feel but you just can't. It's the act of being held back, whether by yourself ("self-control, bes!") or by something else (like your mom grabbing your arm before you buy another milk tea).
From `pagkaka-` (state/manner) + `pigil` (to hold, restrain).
Can refer to both physical and emotional restraint.
