EN: humility; act of humbling oneself
This is your 'sana all' moment when a VIP lines up for street food just like everyone else. It's the opposite of being a 'feeling close' alta. It’s showing you’re grounded, even if your bank account is in the stratosphere. It's the conscious act of not flexing.
From pag- (gerund prefix) + papaka- (intensive prefix) + baba (low). Literally 'the act of making oneself low'.
ROOT MEANING: low; short (in height)
Often associated with religious or moral virtue. Distinct from 'kababaang-loob' which is the state of being humble, 'pagpapakababa' is the *act* of humbling oneself.
