EN: to treat someone (for free)
Ah, one of the best words in the Filipino language. This is what your friend says when they get a promotion, a bonus, or it's their birthday. "Uy, maglibre ka naman!" is the national anthem of barkadas everywhere. It's the foundation of Filipino friendship and the reason your wallet is sometimes empty.
From Spanish 'libre' (free).
Very common in social situations, especially involving food and drinks. Often associated with celebrations or good news.
