EN: act of standing up; rising; taking a stand
This isn't just getting up from your chair. It's what you do when you see injustice and decide to speak up. It's having a 'spine'. On a less serious note, it's also the struggle of getting out of bed on a Monday morning. 'Ang **pagtindig** para sa tama ay hindi laging madali.'
From `pag-` (verbal noun prefix) + `tindig` (stand/posture).
ROOT MEANING: posture
Carries a strong connotation of principle and conviction, beyond the physical act of standing.
