Use of Pag, pagpa and pagpapa prefix
I understand how the prefix pag creates a noun from a verb, umalis - pag-alis (to leave - leaving or departure), maglaro - paglalaro (to play - playing). I even understand how the first syllable is duplicated for verbs that are mag verbs, laro - root, maglaro - to play, paglalaro - playing.
However in written text I often see the prefix pagpa and pagpapa. For example:
Nang ipagtapat ko po sa aking anak ang plano naming PAGPAPAkasal ay humagulgol po siya ...
Inakala naman ng mga kasamahan na nagbibiro lamang ang biktima at hindi pinansin ang kataga ng 15-anyos na tinedyer na maagang PAGPAsalubong kay kamatayan.
May mga biktima kasi ng aksidente o emergency sa China gaya ng ilang senior citizens na kinakasuhan pa ang mga tumulong sa kanila para may maipantustos sila sa kanilang gamot at PAGPAPAospital.
Why is PAGPA and PAGPAPA used and what is the difference between them? Salamat.

What is the difference between rin (din) and pa rin?
I understand that rin turns to din when the preceding word ends in a vowel. Likewise, raw to daw, etc. That is not my question.
I often see the word rin used is a sentence and understand it to mean also. But I also see pa rin used in a sentence. Since pa translates to "still", "yet" it is not clear to me what pa rin (still also) implies? It seems that there is no use for the word pa. Please explain.

Walang anuman?
I understand that walang anuman translates to you're welcome in English. But are there other uses of the expression? I ask because I saw a sentence that said "Ang mga punungkahoy ay nabubunot niya para walang anuman" What does walang anuman mean in that sentence and is it a common use of walang anuman?

Use of NAMAN
I understand that "NAMAN" is used in speech to soften a term or statement or to add emphasis.. But in many articles I see NAMA used. My dictionary says that NAMA can mean "also", "too", "really". So, in the following sentences, what does NAMAN mean:
Tuloy na naman ang kurakutan.
Sasabihin ko sa kanya na kami ay mabuti naman dito sa Pilipinas.
Idinipensa naman siya ni House Speaker Sonny Belmonte.

Difference between a Tagalog "um" verb and "mag" verb
I know how to conjugate mag and um verbs, but my questions is a bit more fundamental. Some verbs seem to only be conjugated as um verbs, whereas others are only conjugated as mag verbs. Still others can be conjugated as either.
Is there a general rule as to what kind of verbs are conjugated as um, and what kind are conjugated as mag?
And when a verb can be conjugated as either, what is the usual difference between its um for and mag form.
Salamat
