FIL: Isang taong madaling maawa, maramdamin, at malambot ang puso.
EN: soft-hearted, overly sentimental
Literally "heart of a mamon (chiffon cake)". This is the friend who cries during a Jollibee commercial. They are a certified "marupok" who will forgive their cheating ex for the 5th time. They're sweet and soft, but you also kinda want to shake them and say "Tumigil ka na!"
Compound of "puso" (heart) and "mamon" (a type of soft, fluffy Filipino cake), metaphorically linking the heart's softness to the cake's texture.
