FIL: Hindi mahalaga; walang kabuluhan o kuwenta.
EN: worthless; insignificant
This is the more formal, almost poetic way of saying something is worthless. It's not just 'waley,' it has a bit of dramatic flair. It's what you call a promise that was broken, an effort that was ignored, or a person who feels unseen. 'Para sa'yo, ako'y waring-waling-halaga.' Ouch. That's deep hugot right there.
From `waling` (an archaic/poetic form of `walang`, meaning 'none') + `halaga` (value).
ROOT MEANING: price; value; importance
Often found in literature, songs, and poetry. It carries a more dramatic and formal tone than `walang halaga`.
