EN: to skim from, to take a portion from
What you do to the *latik* forming on top of the coconut milk you're cooking. It's also what you do when you 'borrow' a few fries from your friend's Large Fries. 'Pahingi ako' is the request, but the action is mang-**halawan**.
Often used in cooking contexts, like skimming fat from broth, or in a more general sense of taking a small amount from a larger source.
