/ub-li-GA-do/
FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang tao na may tungkulin o pananagutang gawin ang isang bagay dahil sa batas, kasunduan, o moral na dahilan.
EN: obliged
That feeling when your tita asks you to sing at the family reunion. You don't want to, but you feel 'utang na loob' so you're ubligado. It's the social contract that makes you do things, from giving 'pasalubong' to helping a relative find a job. You're not legally bound, but socially, you're cornered.
From Spanish 'obligado' (obligated).
Often used to express a sense of social or moral duty rather than a strict legal one.
🇵🇭 Ubligado kang tulungan ang iyong mga magulang sa kanilang pagtanda.
🇺🇸 You are obliged to help your parents in their old age.
🇵🇭 Hindi ako ubligado na sundin ang lahat ng gusto mo.
