EN: parental love; a parent's love for a child
This is that special kind of love that makes a mother wake up at 4 AM to cook baon, or a father work abroad for 20 years just to send his kids to college. It's unconditional, often involves a lot of sacrifice, and is the reason for the 'utang na loob' dynamic in many Filipino families. It's the 'aalagaan kita hanggang pagtanda' promise in noun form.
A compound word from pagmamahal (love) + anak (child).
A specific compound noun that is more descriptive and emphatic than just 'pagmamahal ng magulang' (love of a parent).
