FIL: Ang akto ng pagpilit o paghikayat sa isang tao na gawin ang isang bagay laban sa kaniyang kalooban.
EN: insistence; coercion
This is what your tita does when she says "Kain pa!" for the fifth time even if you're already about to explode. It's also the energy of a friend who won't take 'no' for an answer when they want you to go out on a Friday night. Low-key 'kulit' but on a more serious level.
From "pilit" (force, insist). The "pan-" prefix becomes "pam-" and the first syllable of the root is reduplicated ("-pi-") to form a noun of action.
Can range from gentle insistence to forceful coercion.
