EN: to sponge-bathe
This is the OG 'punas-punas lang' method. When you're sick with a fever and can't take a full shower, your mom will `magbanyos` you with a warm, wet towel. It's a hospital-approved way to stay fresh without getting out of bed. Think of it as a low-tech, manual shower for when you're not feeling 100%.
From Spanish "baños" (baths), adapted to mean sponge bath.
