/mag-ban-tu-LOT/
FIL: Ang pag-aatubili o pag-aalinlangan sa paggawa ng isang desisyon o aksyon; ang kawalan ng katiyakan kung itutuloy ang isang bagay.
EN: to hesitate
That feeling when you're about to click 'Add to Cart' on Lazada but your wallet is crying. That's you, `nagbabantulot`. It's the pause before you confess to your crush, or before you tell your mom you broke her favorite vase. It's the 'should I or shouldn't I?' dance in your head. Synonymous with 'mag-alinlangan' but with a more poetic, dramatic flair.
