EN: to have something built for someone
This is what you ask your rich tita to do for you. "Tita, ipagpatayo mo naman ako ng coffee shop!" It's the ultimate "pabili" but for a whole building. It's like commissioning a project, but with more family drama involved.
From i- (benefactive prefix) + pag- (actor-focus prefix) + pa- (causative prefix) + tayo (to stand, build).
A benefactive/causative verb. The object being built is the focus of the verb, and there is a beneficiary for whom the action is performed.
