EN: striving, effort, diligence
This is the 'OFW working two jobs' kind of hustle. It's the student juggling studies and a part-time job at a coffee shop. It's the grind, the hustle, the blood, sweat, and tears you pour into something to make your dreams come true. Pagsusumikap is the core value that fuels every Filipino success story, from the palengke to the corner office. It's more than just working hard; it's working with heart.
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `sumikap` (the verb 'to strive', which is `sikap` + infix `-um-`).
