EN: to bear witness; to testify
This is what a 'Marites' does, but in court. Instead of just gossiping at the sari-sari store, you're formally telling a judge what you saw. To magbigay-saksi is to be the official human dashcam, recounting the events as they happened, hopefully without the dramatic sound effects.
From 'magbigay' (to give) + 'saksi' (witness).
Primarily used in legal, religious, or very formal contexts.
🇵🇭 Handa siyang magbigay-saksi sa korte laban sa akusado.
🇺🇸 She is ready to testify in court against the accused.
🇵🇭 Ang mga bituin ay tila nagbibigay-saksi sa kanilang pag-iibigan.
🇺🇸 The stars seem to bear witness to their love.
