/mag-pa-a-LAB/
FIL: Ang pagpapasiklab o pagpapaliyab ng apoy; o sa matalinghagang paraan, ang pagpapatindi ng isang damdamin, tulad ng galit, pag-ibig, o sigasig.
EN: to inflame; to ignite; to intensify (feelings)
This verb has two modes: literal and hugot. Literal: What you do to the charcoal for the barbecue using a 'pamaypay' (hand fan). Hugot mode: What your ex does when they suddenly message you 'I miss you,' effectively re-igniting old feelings. It's also what a powerful speech does to a crowd—it inflames their passion and makes them want to rally for a cause.
Can be used literally for fire ('alab') or figuratively for emotions ('damdamin'). The 'magpa-' prefix is causative, meaning to cause something to burn or to cause a feeling to intensify.
