EN: Promise
Ah, the national currency of "sana all" and the foundation of "hugot" culture. It's what politicians give during elections and what your toxic ex gave you before they ghosted. Best served when fulfilled, but often ends up "napako" (unfulfilled). Handle with care.
From `pang-` + `ako` (I, me), literally meaning "my undertaking" or "I vouch for this."
The verb form is `mangako` (to promise). The idiom `napako ang pangako` (the promise was nailed) means a promise was broken.
🇵🇭 Tuparin mo ang iyong pangako sa akin.
🇺🇸 Fulfill your promise to me.
🇵🇭 Lahat ay pawang pangako na napako.
🇺🇸 Everything was just a broken promise.
