EN: to enact into law, to legislate
The 'I'm Just a Bill' song, but make it Filipino. This is the final step in the long and winding chika of Congress and the Senate. When a bill gets enough votes and the President's signature, it gets 'isinabatas.' It's the government's way of making something officially official, from national holidays to new taxes.
From 'isa' (to make one with) and 'batas' (law).
ROOT MEANING: law; rule
Used in legal, political, and news contexts. The noun form is 'pagsasabatas'.
