EN: to have news announced or spread
The analog version of 'make this go viral.' Before social media, you'd ask the town crier or the local Marites to **ipabalita** something. Now, it's more like asking a media outlet to cover a story, or just telling your friend with a big mouth. '**Ipabalita** mo na engaged na kami!'
From the causative prefix "ipa-" and "balita" (news), which is derived from Sanskrit "vārttā".
Can be for formal announcements (e.g., on TV Patrol) or for informal gossip (chismis).
