EN: showing off; act of trying to be famous
This is the 'bida-bida' or 'papansin' starter pack. It's doing something extra just to get attention, whether it's singing loudly in the videoke to show off your vocal range, or being the first to answer all the questions in class. In the age of social media, this is the entire game: doing challenges, creating content, and posting everything for likes and follows. It's the hustle to get your 15 minutes of fame.
From pag- (gerund prefix) + pa- (causative prefix) + pasikat (from pa- + sikat, 'shine/famous'). The act of causing oneself to shine or be famous.
