EN: to nationalize
This is when the government says 'Akin na 'yan' to a private company. Imagine if a big telco or power company suddenly became government-owned. That's 'isabansa.' It’s a big, serious political and economic move, often debated in classrooms and Congress, not so much sa palengke.
From 'isa' (to make one with) and 'bansa' (nation).
ROOT MEANING: country, nation
Primarily used in political, economic, and historical contexts. The noun form is 'pagsasabansa' or 'nasyonalisasyon'.
