However, "tap" can also mean a water faucet (uma torneira).

Ang kalikasan ay dapat alagaan ito ay mahalaga dahil sa ito ay nilikha ng diyos
huwag natin sirain dahil bunga ay kalamidad.
tayong mga tao ang nilikha ng diyos para mangalaga sa kapaligiran dahil tayong mga tao ang mas pinaka makapangyarihang nilalang na nilikha.
isipin natin na ang mundong ating ginagalawan ay hiram lang natin sa kanya.
paano kung bawiin nya ito? dapat itong alagaan...
Kalikasan,.. ano ba ang kalikasan? ano ba ang unang pumapasok sa mga isipan o utak niyo sa tuwing naririnig nio ang salitang kalikasan?
sumasang ayon ba kayo sa patuloy na gawain ng mga tao sa pagsira ng inang kalikasan?
kaibigan.. ang sagot ko ay hindi..
baket? dahil gus2 niyo ba na ang ating mga anak ay maranasan ang kawalan ng puno sa buhay nila? at makita nalang ito sa mga letrato?
kaibigan.. ito ay isang pagkakamali dapat ituwid..
wag na tayo mag bingi-bingian,bulag-bulagan at dapat tayo ay mag isip isip..
sa lahat ng ating gagawin kung ito ba ay tama o mali..

How do you say big hugs in Brazilian Portuguese?
Um abração grandão (oom ah-bra-sa-oom gran-da-oom), literally, "a big hug".
If this is someone you are good friends with, you could replace "big hug" with "big kiss" (beijão instead of abração), as to end a letter with "hugs" is the more formal way.
If this is for a letter or email and you want to be playful you could go with "um abraço, um beijo, e um pedaço de queijo" (oom ah-bra-soo, oom bay-joo, ee oom pe-da-soo djee kay-joo) - "a hug, a kiss, and a piece of cheese"
