This is what happens when your mom finds out you haven't done the dishes yet. 'Sigawan' is to shout *at* someone. It’s a one-way communication where the volume is high and the patience is low. Also what happens in Congress, on a teleserye, or in a heated Valorant match.
From 'sigaw' (shout) + '-an' (action/object focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: shout
