EN: to value; to appreciate; to give importance
The ultimate 'hugot' word. This is what you tell your jowa when they're not giving you enough attention: "Pahalagahan mo naman ako!" It means to treat something or someone like they're a limited-edition Starbucks tumbler—precious and not to be taken for granted. It's the opposite of being 'dedma' (ignored). Value your time, your work, your friends, your data plan.
