EN: sudden appearance
That moment when someone you were just gossiping about suddenly walks into the room. Or when a pimple makes a `biglang paglitaw` the night before a big date. It's the universe's jump scare. The Tagalog equivalent of "and then, out of nowhere..."
From `bigla` (sudden) + `paglitaw` (appearance, from root `litaw`).
A common descriptive phrase, not a fixed idiom.
