The national sport of Filipino drama teleseryes. The goal is always to `paiyakin` the main character (and the audience). Also what happens when you cut onions, check your bank account after payday, or re-watch "Heneral Luna". "Huwag mo akong paiyakin" is a classic line that's basically a challenge.
From `iyak` (cry) with circumfix `pa- -in`.
A causative verb. The subject of the verb causes the object to cry.
