EN: to become arrogant; to act proud
This is that character arc when someone gets a little bit of success—a promotion, a viral TikTok video, a new iPhone—and suddenly they're too good for everyone. They start acting 'big time.' It's the transformation into a mayabang. 'Lumaki ang ulo' is the state, 'magpalalo' is the act of getting there.
From 'magpa-' (reflexive/stative prefix) + 'lalo' (more). The sense is 'to make oneself more (than others).'
Carries a strong negative connotation, implying an unattractive display of pride.
