EN: arrival; coming (of an event or time)
This isn't just arriving, like getting off a jeepney. 'Pagsapit' has a more dramatic, almost poetic feel. It’s the arrival of something significant—like 'pagsapit ng Pasko' (the coming of Christmas) or 'pagsapit ng dilim' (the falling of darkness). It's the moment the vibe shifts because *the thing* is finally here.
From `pag-` (gerund prefix) + `sapit` (arrival).
Often used for time, events, or significant moments rather than simple physical arrival of a person.
🇵🇭 Nagdiwang ang lahat sa pagsapit ng Bagong Taon.
