EN: respect; reverence; deference
This is the 'po' and 'opo' energy. It's the 'mano po' gesture you do for your elders. It's the opposite of pamimilosopo. It's that built-in Filipino software that reminds you to be polite and show deference, especially to anyone who looks older than your ate or kuya.
From "pitagan" (respect, reverence). The "pan-" prefix becomes "pam-" and the first syllable of the root is reduplicated.
ROOT MEANING: respect; reverence
A formal word for respect, often implying a sense of awe or deference to authority or age.
