EN: stinginess
This is the opposite of 'libre ko na.' This is your friend who uses a calculator to split the bill down to the last centavo, or your relative who reuses tea bags and gift wrappers from 1998. It’s the art of squeezing every last drop out of your peso, sometimes to a fault. It's being Ebenezer Scrooge, but Pinoy version.
From `pagka-` (quality of) + `maimot` (stingy).
ROOT MEANING: stingy; miserly
A strong negative term. `Pagkamatipid` (frugality) is the positive or neutral version.
