EN: to go around; to tour; to deceive
Can mean literally going around the block to find parking, or showing your balikbayan relatives around Manila. But in 'hugot' terms, it's what your ex did to your feelings. "Huwag mo akong ikut-ikutin!" is the classic line when someone's giving you the runaround, whether it's a customer service rep or a jowa who won't give a straight answer.
ROOT MEANING: to turn, to rotate, to spin
Has both a literal meaning (to physically go around) and a figurative one (to deceive or be evasive). Context is key.
