EN: to be trusted; to be confided in
This is the ultimate friendship/relationship level-up. When someone can tell you their secrets, their problems, or their ATM PIN (kidding!), you have been 'pagtiwalaan'. It's being the 'bes' someone runs to after a breakup, or the officemate who can cover for you, no questions asked. It's a heavy responsibility, so don't be a marites and spill the tea.
The 'pag-' and '-an' affixes turn the root 'tiwala' (trust) into a verb indicating the person or entity that is the recipient or location of the trust.
