EN: to butcher; to cut up (meat)
This is what the butcher at the palengke does with that huge slab of pork before you get your half-kilo of liempo. It's a primal, hardcore version of 'hiwa'. Think less of a delicate chef's slice and more of a "get the big cleaver" kind of action. Rarely used in everyday convo unless you're actually a butcher or describing a very gory scene.
An archaic or specialized term. More commonly, "magkatay" or "hiwain" is used. "Lapa" can also refer to the cut of meat itself (the flank).
