This is what the firefighters do to a raging fire, or what the police do during a riot. On a personal level, it's you trying to suppress your 'kilig' when your crush looks at you, or trying to hold back your anger when your internet connection dies during a ranked game. It's damage control.
From `pag-` (verbal noun prefix) + `sawata` (suppress, subdue).
