EN: act of braving, wading through, facing (a challenge)
This is you braving the EDSA traffic on a payday Friday. It's walking through a flooded street in España just to get to class. Pagsuong is the national sport of every Filipino commuter and anyone trying to finish their thesis. It's facing a challenge head-on, whether it's a storm or your mother-in-law's critical gaze.
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `suong` (to brave, to go against).
Often used in the context of facing difficulties, dangers, or physical obstacles like floods or storms.
