FIL: Ang pagtatagpo o pagtanggap sa isang taong dumarating. Maaari ring tumukoy sa bagay na inihahandog o ipinapakita sa pagsalubong.
EN: to meet someone upon arrival; to welcome with
That feeling when you see your family at the airport holding a 'Welcome Home!' sign after your 5-year OFW contract. 'Yan ang 'pag-isalubong'. It can also refer to what you're met WITH. Your mom might 'isalubong' you with a slipper for coming home late, or your manager might 'isalubong' you with a pile of new tasks on a Monday morning.
ROOT MEANING: act of meeting or fetching someone; reception
When using 'isalubong', the focus is on the thing being used to welcome, or the action of welcoming itself. Compare with 'salubungin', which focuses on the person being welcomed.
