EN: The act of cooking rice
The most important chore in any Filipino household. If your household was a company, this would be the key performance indicator (KPI). Fail at this, and you fail at life. It's a sacred ritual that separates the 'pabigat' from the 'aasahan'. Master the perfect water-to-rice ratio using just your finger, and you've unlocked a core Filipino life skill.
From "saing" (to cook rice). The "pag- -an" affix indicates the process of the action.
ROOT MEANING: the act of cooking rice
