EN: act of staying; remaining; permanence
This is the art of 'staying put.' It's you, still working for the same company after 5 years despite the low pay because the coffee is free. It's your 'tita' who refuses to leave the family group chat despite the chaotic 'good morning' messages. It's the opposite of 'ghosting'—it's 'staying.'
From the verb 'manatili' (to remain, to stay). The noun `pananatili` is formed from this verb, referring to the state or act of remaining. The ultimate root is the archaic 'tili' (stay, remain).
Can refer to staying in a physical place, a job, a relationship, or maintaining a certain state or condition.
