EN: To give a share of one's winnings
When you win the lottery, hit the jackpot on the slot machine, or get a massive bonus, the first thing your friends and family will say is "Balato naman diyan!" To 'bumalato' is to give a small piece of your winnings. It's the Pinoy version of 'sharing the wealth,' a social tax on good fortune. If you don't do it, you're 'madamot'.
Strongly associated with gambling, lotteries, or any sudden financial gain.
