EN: to watch over for someone
This is what you ask your *chismosa* neighbor to do to your house while you're on vacation. "Pakitingnan mo naman kung may aakyat ng bakod, ha?" It's also what your paranoid mom asks your older sibling to do to you at a party: "Ipagbantay mo 'yang kapatid mo, baka kung ano'ng mangyari." It's entrusting the act of guarding to someone else.
The prefix 'ipag-' indicates that the action is done for someone's benefit or on their behalf.
