FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagiging lubos na nagulat, nabigla, o nataranta dahil sa isang hindi inaasahang pangyayari.
EN: startled; shocked; flabbergasted
That feeling when you're scrolling through your ex's profile and you accidentally 'like' a photo from 2015. That's you being **gulantang**. It's the wide-eyed, heart-stopping shock you get from a surprise 'multo' in a horror movie, a 'pasabog' chismis from a friend, or seeing your electricity bill after a month of non-stop aircon.
ROOT MEANING: surprise, shock, fright
Describes the state of a person who has been shocked or startled. It implies a stronger degree of shock than 'gulat'.
