FIL: Ang proseso ng pagpapakulo ng isang bagay, karaniwan ay pagkain tulad ng itlog, kamote, o saging, sa tubig hanggang sa ito ay maluto.
EN: to boil (something in water)
This is a kitchen staple verb. When you're too lazy to cook a full meal, you maglaga ng itlog (boil an egg) or saging na saba. It's the official cooking method for 'bahala na si Batman' dinners. Just add water, fire, and wait.
From mag- (verb prefix) + laga (to boil).
Distinct from 'magpakulo' which just means to boil water. 'Maglaga' implies something is being cooked *in* the boiling water.
