FIL: Ang pagbaba ng antas ng tubig sa dagat o karagatan; ang kabaligtaran ng taog o high tide.
EN: low tide, ebb
The ocean's 'I need space' moment. It's when the sea pulls back, revealing all the shells, rocks, and lost tsinelas on the shore. Metaphorically, it's that low-energy point in your day, or when your wallet is empty before payday. The opposite of 'taog' (high tide) when the blessings are flowing.
Also used metaphorically for the subsiding of a fever, passion, or any strong feeling (e.g., 'hibas ng galit').
