Malasakit is an explicitly relational concept. It is culturally and morally awkward to describe yourself as someone with malasakit because the ultimate judge of that are other people - specifically the people you claim to have compassion for - not you.

San Miguel Corporation prides itself in their value of "malasakit". But where is SMC's malasakit for the victims of Mindoro oil spill? While Ramon Ang sits among the country's richest Filipinos, thousands of fisherfolk in Mindoro are still waiting for just compensation.

From Verde Island Passage to Manila Bay, it is the fisherfolks and environment that suffers the most in these oil spill disasters.
Center for Energy, Ecology, and Development@CEEDphilippines1 Aug 2024
CEED visited Barangay Tibaguin, Hagonoy, Bulacan to learn the situation of the communities after the oil spill from the sunken MT Terranova tanker. Fisherfolk communities have experienced decline in fish catch and some have been unable to fish for weeks.
