EN: to fetch water for someone
'Paki-igiban mo nga ako ng tubig pangligo.' This is a request that echoes through provincial life. It's not just fetching water, it's performing an act of service for someone else. It's the younger sibling's duty, the suitor's way of showing 'sipag at tiyaga' to his beloved's parents.
A benefactive verb. 'Igiban mo ako' means 'Fetch water for me'. Contrast with 'umigib' (to fetch water for oneself).
