EN: Act of holding on; grasping
This is the 'kapit lang bes!' action. It's the way you grip the jeepney handrail during a sudden stop, the way you hold onto your phone in a crowded Divisoria, or the way you cling to your last bit of salary before 'petsa de peligro'. It’s holding on for dear life.
Implies a firm, secure grip. More poetic or literary than 'paghawak'.
