FIL: Ang pagdadala o pagbiyahe ng mga produkto o tao mula sa probinsya o isang mas mababang lugar patungo sa siyudad o sentro ng kalakalan.
EN: to transport to the city; to bring upstream
This is the opposite of 'iuwi sa probinsya'. It's when you bring goods, produce, or even your newly-arrived relative from the province to the big city, usually Manila. Think of farmers bringing their fresh harvest to be sold in Divisoria or Balintawak. "Iluwas mo na 'yang mga mangga para kumita na tayo!"
Often used in the context of commerce and travel, contrasting the province ('probinsya') with the city ('siyudad' or 'Maynila').
