EN: to sell by retail; to sell in small portions
The business model of every sari-sari store in the Philippines. You don't buy a whole shampoo bottle, you buy a sachet. You don't buy a pack of cigarettes, you buy one stick. The store owner is asked to **ipagtingi** the goods. It's the art of breaking down the whole into affordable little pieces.
This verb is central to the concept of 'tingi-tingi' or retail culture in the Philippines. The focus is on the item being sold.
