EN: going against the current; welcoming
This is your life when you're late for the MRT and everyone's getting off while you're desperately trying to get in. It's the ultimate salmon move, whether in EDSA traffic or in a crowded mall. It can also be that grand gesture of meeting someone at the airport, like in the movies, running towards them as they exit.
From pag- (nominalizer) + sa- (repetition) + salungsong (against the current).
Can be used literally for traffic/currents or figuratively for going against popular opinion. The 'welcoming' meaning is less common but still valid, often in a formal or literary context.
