FIL: Ang pag-aaliw o paglilibang sa sarili o sa iba upang maibsan ang pagkabagot o kalungkutan.
EN: to entertain, to amuse, to distract
'Libang' is what you do when your internet is down. You try to find something, *anything*, to keep yourself from going crazy. It's also what your friend does to you when you're going through a breakup—they try to **libang** you with K-dramas and milk tea so you forget about your ex for five minutes.
The root word itself is not often used alone; it's usually found in inflected forms like 'libangin', 'maglibang', 'nakalilibang'.
