* Nakakamangha (pronounced: nah-kah-kah-man-gah) - This word implies something that is truly awe-inspiring.

* Galing (pronounced: gah-ling) - This is more informal and means "excellent" or "great," but can also be used for "amazing."

It's also worth noting that Tagalog is a very expressive language, and there are many other ways to express amazement depending on the specific situation.
