FIL: Hanggang saan kayang tanawin ng paningin; ang lawak na nasasakop ng tingin.
EN: as far as the eye can see
That feeling when you're at the beach, looking at the horizon, and it's just endless sea and sky. Or when you're stuck in traffic on SLEX and all you can see is a sea of cars. It's the entire area visible in your peripheral vision, the maximum range of your chismis-seeking eyes.
Literally 'reach of the eye', from Tagalog 'abot' (reach) and 'mata' (eye).
A common idiomatic expression. Often used in descriptive writing or to emphasize a vast, open space.
🇵🇭 Hanggang sa abot ng mata ay puro palayan ang makikita mo.
