EN: tugboat
This is the small but mighty gym bro of the sea. The **lantsang pambatak** (tugboat) is that tiny boat you see pushing or pulling a massive container ship that's like 100 times its size. It's proof that size doesn't matter; it's all about the 'torque'. It's the supportive friend who helps you move your entire condo's worth of stuff using their sheer will and power.
From Tagalog 'lantsa' (boat) + 'pambatak' (for pulling).
This is a noun phrase composed of 'lantsa' and the adjective 'pambatak', linked by '-ng'. It functions as a compound noun.
