The official verb of Christmas, birthdays, and packing your pabaon. It's what you ask the tita at the department store gift-wrapping section to do. Also what you do with leftover food from a fiesta. "Paki-balot naman po 'yung tirang lechon, ulam namin bukas."
From `i-` (causative prefix) + `balot` (wrap).
