EN: pockmarked, full of depressions, uneven
This describes a surface that looks like the moon, but not in a romantic way. Think of Metro Manila roads after a rainy season, or a face that lost a battle with teenage acne. It's uneven, full of craters, and generally a rough ride. It's the opposite of "flawless."
The word 'lipak' by itself means a pockmark or depression. The repetition 'lipak-lipak' emphasizes the multiplicity of these marks.
