EN: to harvest or deal with snow peas
This is a deep cut. If you know this word, you probably live near Baguio or have a farm. Mag-apina is the verb for harvesting snow peas (sitsaro/apina). It's the kind of word you'd hear in a palengke up north, not in a BGC coffee shop.
From `apina`, a local term for snow pea (sitsaro), possibly of Ilocano or Cordilleran origin.
Very specific and regional term. The more common term for snow pea is 'sitsaro'.
