EN: to have someone take care of something; to safeguard
This is a command or a plea. 'Paingatan mo ang puso ko,' is the ultimate hugot line. It's what you say when you entrust something valuable to someone—a secret, a pet, your laptop, or your heart. It’s a level up from just 'ingatan'; the 'pa-' adds a sense of having it done by someone, a request for care.
ROOT MEANING: take care; be careful
The 'pa- ... -an' affix here means 'to cause care to be applied to something', often by someone else.
