Explanation: translation would depend on the context....
nanggigigil ba sa galit or nanggigigil as in 'thrilled'?
nanggigigil = trembling because of emotion / feeling thrilled
gigil (according to L. English)
= "tremble or thrill from some irrepressible emotion."
= "gritting of the teeth because of suppressed anger"

Notes to answerer
Asker: the sentence would be: nakakagigil ang bata, ang cute cute.
36 days confidence:
thrilled with excitement / seething with anger
Explanation: The word 'nanggigigil' alone does not give a complete though unless there is a pretense to its use. It can be used both positively and negatively. For it to give its essence you would have to be reading or watching a dialogue wherein the term is expressed. Still it will be used as a phrase and not as a single word.
-If you were to use this term positively then you should say "thrilled with excitement" or "with joy/happiness/anything positive".
-If you were to use this term negatively then you should say "seething with anger" or "with rage/ spite/anything negative".
Other relative probabilities you can use here are: 'fuming' 'teeming' even 'fretting'. Again, it's a matter of style from hereon.

The sample sentence with Emily shows that the word "thrill' does not really reflect the term 'nanggigigil'... my apologies.
Example sentence(s):
Watching Emily perform solo on-stage, made her family thrill with excitement.
