EN: to abuse; to take advantage of
That feeling when you've given 110% effort on a project, but your boss's feedback is still 'kulang pa'. Or when you lend a friend money once, and they suddenly treat you like their personal ATM. That's them taking advantage of your kindness. It's the act of exploiting a good thing until it breaks.
From pag- + ma- + labis (excess) + -an.
Often used in the context of exploiting someone's kindness, resources, or authority. It implies crossing a boundary of what is reasonable or fair.
