EN: sun-drying, exposure to sun
What your mom does to the laundry on a sunny Saturday, making the whole neighborhood smell like fabric conditioner. It's also how they make tuyo (dried fish) and daing. Think of it as a natural, eco-friendly dryer powered by pure, scorching Philippine heat. Verb forms: 'magbalad', 'ibalad'.
Proto-Philippine *balad, meaning "to spread out to dry".
Used as a root for verbs like 'ibinalad' (was sun-dried) and 'magbalad' (to sun-dry something).
