FIL: Ang paghihintay sa isang tao o bagay sa isang tiyak na lugar upang salubungin, harangin, o tambangan.
EN: to wait for and intercept, to ambush
This is the OG "seen-zone" but in real life. It's when you wait for your crush to pass by the hallway, or when your officemate with an "utang" tries to avoid you so you strategically wait for them near the elevator. It can be for a surprise (good or bad) or an ambush interview by your tita asking when you're getting married.
Mula sa salitang-ugat na "abang," na nangangahulugang paghihintay.
The object-focus form of the verb 'abang'. "Abangan" is also a common synonym.
