SUMASUMPALATAYA

father alex gave delivered an awesome and stupendous homily last night. one very particular thing that i wanna share is the etymology of the term SUMASUMPALATAYA. here's what he said >>

SUMA - means highest degree or very top.

SUM - came from summation or overall.

PALA - is what Filipino's add as prefix if you wanted to say always - e.g. PALA-NGITI means you are always smiling.

TAYA - means taking a risk or some people would say betting.

so, SUMASUMPALATAYA means that "ang pinakamataas na pag-sasasama-sama at palagiang pagtataya sa Diyos"...awesome!
