FIL: Ang pansamantalang pagbabayad para sa gastos ng iba, na may inaasahang pagsasauli sa hinaharap.
EN: to pay in advance for someone; to cover a cost temporarily
The official verb of every team lunch. There's always that one person who says, "Sige, ako muna **mag-aabono**," and then spends the next week chasing people down with a G-Cash QR code. It's a gesture of generosity mixed with the mild anxiety of tracking who has and hasn't paid you back yet.
From Spanish 'abono' (payment, credit).
This meaning is distinct from its agricultural use (to fertilize). It implies a temporary covering of costs.
