EN: the act of chasing; pursuit
This is the official term for what you do when the GrabFood driver is 'nearby' but you see his little motorcycle icon going in the opposite direction on the map. It's the frantic **panghahagad** to catch the last jeepney at night, or chasing after your dreams (or your crush who just left you on 'seen').
From `pang-` + reduplication of the first syllable of the root `ha-` + `hagad` (chase). This `pang-` + reduplication form often indicates an intense or repeated action.
ROOT MEANING: chase; pursuit
Describes the action or process of chasing, often with a sense of urgency or persistence.
