EN: Act of having faith; believing
It's believing your Grab driver will find your obscure 'pin' location without calling you five times. On a serious note, it's the foundation of religion and belief systems. It's your trust in God, in the universe, or even just in yourself, that things will work out. It's the 'tiwala lang' philosophy, but make it formal.
From the phrase 'sumasampalataya ako' (I believe). The root 'sampalataya' itself is a lexicalized phrase.
Almost exclusively used in a spiritual or religious context. A deeper, more active form of 'paniniwala' (belief).
🇵🇭 Ang pagsampalataya sa Diyos ang nagbibigay sa kanya ng lakas.
🇺🇸 The act of having faith in God is what gives him strength.
🇵🇭 Sinubok ang kanyang pagsampalataya nang magkasakit ang kanyang anak.
🇺🇸 Her faith was tested when her child got sick.
