EN: rising (of sun, etc.); becoming famous
This word is all about 'making it'. Literally, it's the sun rising (*pagsikat ng araw*). But in the context of showbiz or social media, it's your glow-up moment. It's when you go from being a 'seen-zoned' extra to the main character. The *pagsikat* of a new vlogger, a new TikTok trend, or a new love team. It's the beginning of their fame... and usually, the beginning of the chismis.
Root word 'sikat' means 'ray' (of light) or 'famous'.
The meaning is clear from context, whether referring to celestial bodies or celebrities.
