FIL: Ang pagbibigay ng sukdulang pagpapahalaga, pag-ibig, o pag-iingat sa isang tao o bagay.
EN: to treasure, to hold dear, to cherish
This is next-level 'mahalin'. It's not just loving something, it's treating it like a rare Pokémon card or the last piece of chicharon. It's the 'ingatan mo 'yan, ha?' kind of love. You 'pakamahalin' a family heirloom, a promise from your SO, or that one perfect photo where you actually look good.
From 'paka-' (intensive prefix) + 'mahal' (love/expensive) + '-in' (object focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: expensive, costly; dear, beloved
The 'paka-' prefix intensifies the root word, implying 'to do something to the utmost'.
