EN: to pack; the act of packing
This is what you do the night before a long weekend trip, frantically stuffing your entire closet into one small backpack. It's also what your balikbayan tita does for three months, expertly playing Tetris with corned beef cans and beauty soaps in a giant box. 'Mag-empake ka na!' is the official battle cry of mothers everywhere before a family outing.
From Spanish 'empaque' (packing, packaging).
Can be used as a verb root (e.g., nag-empake, mag-empake) or as a noun referring to the act itself. The spelling 'impake' is also common.
