Kitipikusan

Kitipikusan is a term originating from the Tagalog language, primarily used in the Philippines. It describes the act of sharing or passing on information, often gossip or rumors, from one person to another. This communication process can be informal and spread through social networks. The word itself implies a chain of transmission, where a piece of information is relayed and potentially altered or embellished as it moves through different individuals. It highlights the dynamic nature of information flow within a community. While often associated with the casual exchange of news, kitipikusan can also encompass the dissemination of more significant information or even misinformation. The context in which kitipikusan occurs can range from friendly conversations among friends to more widespread public discourse. The term emphasizes the active role of individuals in propagating information, whether intentionally or unintentionally. It is a common linguistic tool used to describe how news travels through informal channels in Filipino society.
