EN: to roam around aimlessly; to loiter
This is what you do at the mall when you're waiting for your perpetually late friend. You're not really shopping, just drifting from Uniqlo to Muji and back, trying to look busy. It's the human equivalent of a screensaver, just bouncing around without a real destination.
From `magpa-` (prefix) + `ampang-ampang` (roaming, loitering). The root itself is rare.
Describes an aimless, wandering movement. Often has a slightly negative connotation of being idle or unproductive.

🇺🇸 Stop roaming around aimlessly there and help me.
🇵🇭 Habang naghihintay, nagpasya siyang magpaampang-ampang sa parke.
