EN: phenomenon
That thing that happens that makes everyone go 'Woah!' and pull out their phones to record it. It could be a supermoon, the rise of an AlDub-level love team, or the fact that your internet is suddenly fast. It's something remarkable, unusual, or just plain weird that gets everyone talking. A 'viral' event before 'viral' was a word.
From Spanish 'fenómeno' (phenomenon).
The 'f' in the original Spanish 'fenómeno' is changed to 'p', which is common in older Tagalog borrowings. The modern, more direct borrowing 'phenomenon' is also used in educated circles.
