FIL: Isang opinyon, teorya, o palagay na binuo nang walang sapat na ebidensya; hula o sapantaha.
EN: assumption, suspicion, guess
This is your brain going into Marites mode. It's the theory you form when you see your officemate getting a GrabFood delivery for two—'May ka-date 'yan!' It's a guess, a suspicion, a conclusion you jumped to with Olympic-level speed. Not quite a fact, but definitely good enough for gossip.
Possibly from Malay 'agak' (to guess, estimate).
Often used in the reduplicated form 'haka-haka'. The singular form 'haka' is more formal or literary.
