EN: a load carried on the back or shoulders
Imagine carrying your team in a group project. That's your **pikul**. Or literally, when you're moving houses and you're carrying a sack of rice on your shoulder like a champ. It's a heavy burden, whether literal or emotional (iyong 'pasanin sa buhay').
Often used in rural contexts or to describe carrying heavy sacks or objects. Can also be used metaphorically for burdens.
