EN: to entrust; to leave to someone's care
This is the ultimate act of trust or, sometimes, of passing the buck. '**Ipabahala** mo na sa akin 'yan' is what a reliable friend says. 'Bahala ka na diyan' is what you say when you give up. It's letting go and letting someone else—or God (Bahala na)—take the wheel.
From the causative prefix "ipa-" and "bahala" (care, responsibility), possibly from Sanskrit "bhara" (load, charge).
A very common expression. The tone can range from genuine trust ('Ipinabahala niya sa akin ang negosyo') to exasperation ('Ipabahala mo na lang sa kanila!').
