EN: to distribute; to share
This is the official verb for 'ayuda' during a crisis, or for the free samples at the supermarket. It's about spreading the love (or the goods). When your friend brings back a giant box of pasalubong, the command is: 'Ipamahagi mo na 'yan!' (Distribute that now!). It feels more formal and large-scale than just 'ibigay'.
From Tagalog 'i-' (causative/instrumental prefix) + 'pamahagi' (act of distributing), which comes from 'bahagi' (part, share).
ROOT MEANING: part, share, portion
Often used in formal contexts like announcements, news reports, or charity work. Implies distribution to a group rather than giving to a single person.
