EN: the state or manner of being choked/strangled
This can be literal, like in an action movie scene. But more often, it’s a metaphor for how you feel when the deadlines are piling up, your boss is watching your every move, and you have bills to pay. That "hindi makahinga" feeling. "Parang sinasakal ako sa trabaho" is a common BPO/corporate hugot.
From `pagkaka-` (state/manner) + `sakal` (choke, strangle).
Can be literal (physical strangulation) or figurative (feeling suffocated by pressure).
