FIL: Isang uri ng mahinahon at banayad na hangin, karaniwang nararamdaman sa mga bukirin at maluluwag na lugar.
EN: gentle breeze, light wind
This isn't the signal-3-level wind. This is the chill, acoustic-version of wind. The kind that gently sways the palay (rice stalks) in the fields, hence the name. It's the perfect breeze for an afternoon nap in a duyan, making you feel like you're in an M.V. for a classic OPM song.
From `hangin` (wind) + `palay` (unhusked rice), repeated to denote a gentle, swaying quality.
ROOT MEANING: air, wind; arrogance
A descriptive and somewhat poetic phrase.
