FIL: Lihim na magplano o mag-organisa ng isang bagay, karaniwang may masamang hangarin.
EN: to scheme; to plot; to orchestrate
The favorite activity of every teleserye kontrabida. It's about masterminding a plan, usually shady, like how to steal the hacienda or frame the bida. In real life, it's what your friends do to magpakana of a surprise birthday party for you.
From `mag-` + `pakana` (scheme, plot). Unlike others with a `paka-` infix, this word's root is `pakana` itself, which is then conjugated.
Often carries a negative connotation of conspiracy, but can be used neutrally or positively for elaborate, secret plans like surprises.
