EN: to bring something down; to lower
This is what you do with the Christmas decorations in January, or what a crane does with a container van. Figuratively, it's what happens to a politician after an impeachment trial. It's the act of moving something from a higher position to a lower one, whether it's a flag, a santo from an altar, or a CEO from their corner office.
From mag- + panaog (to go down/descend). 'Panaog' is an older term related to 'baba' (down).

More common in some dialects (like Bicolano and Cebuano) and in formal/literary Tagalog. 'Magbaba' is the more common, everyday equivalent in modern Manila Tagalog.
