EN: a call (in card games), a bid
This is what your tito shouts during a heated game of 'tong-its' or 'pusoy dos' after a few beers. It's the moment of truth, the "All in!" of the Pinoy card table. The more dramatic the liyamada, the more intense the game.
From Spanish `llamada` (a call, a calling).
Almost exclusively used in the context of card games or similar bidding games.
