EN: to huddle; to gather closely
This is the command you hear from photographers at every Pinoy party: 'Okay, maglapit-lapit po tayo for the group picture!' It's the physical act of 'siksikan' to fit into a frame, to share one umbrella during a downpour, or to huddle together to hear the latest chismis from one source. It implies a group action of coming together in a tight space.
The repetition of 'lapit' emphasizes the collective and close-knit nature of the gathering. It's a plural or group action.
