This is the kontrabida's main job description in any Filipino teleserye. It's the act of being unnecessarily cruel, from a boss who shouts at employees for no reason to someone who harms stray animals. Pagmamalupit is cruelty in action, the opposite of compassion. It's the reason why characters like Valentina or Clara del Valle are so hated.
From pag- + the first syllable of mag- (ma-) + mag- + lupit (cruel).
A strong word describing severe and intentional cruelty.
