FIL: Ang proseso ng pagsasalit-salit ng mga materyales tulad ng dahon ng niyog, buri, o pandan upang makabuo ng mga bagay tulad ng banig, sombrero, o bayong.
EN: to weave (mats, hats, baskets)
This is a traditional Filipino craft. It's the art of creating something beautiful and useful, like a banig (mat) or a bayong (woven bag), from strips of leaves. It's like braiding, but on an architectural scale. It requires patience, skill, and probably a good playlist to listen to.
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `lala` (weaving).
Specifically refers to weaving with hands using wide strips of material like leaves, not thread on a loom (`maghabi`).
