EN: to cause to be repeatedly turned upside down or inside out
Picture a kid having a tantrum on the floor, rolling around. That's magpabali-baligtad. Or when you're frying fish and you keep flipping it over and over, hoping it gets crispy but not burnt. It can also be used for stories or alibis: "Huwag mong pagbali-baligtarin ang kwento!" (Don't keep twisting the story!). It's the act of causing constant flipping and turning.
From `magpa-` + reduplicated `baligtad` (reversed, upside down).
Implies a repeated, sometimes frantic or chaotic, turning action.
