EN: to look up, to raise one's head
You know that moment in a movie when the shy protagonist, who's been looking down the whole time, finally lifts their head to face their destiny (or their crush)? That's 'tumunghay'. It's the opposite of 'yumuko' (to bow your head). It implies a shift from being downcast to being aware and looking forward or upward.
Carries a slightly formal or literary tone.
