This is your default state on a Sunday morning or after a long shift. Not sitting, not standing, just... horizontal. Whether you're binge-watching a series or just 'resting your eyes,' if your back is on a flat surface, you're in a *pahiga* state. It's the opposite of the 'hustle' culture.
From `pa-` (prefix indicating manner or position) + `higa` (to lie down).
Describes the state or manner of being. Often used with verbs like 'matulog', 'magbasa', or 'manood'. Can also function as an adjective.
