EN: to sue each other
When 'mag-usap tayo' fails and 'barangayan' doesn't cut it. This is the level-up version of conflict, where you involve lawyers, courts, and a whole lot of paperwork. Basically, the climax of every teleserye's business rivalry plot.
From Spanish 'demanda' (lawsuit).
ROOT MEANING: lawsuit, complaint, demand
The '-an' suffix indicates a reciprocal action, meaning two or more parties are suing each other.
