FIL: Ang pagbibigay ng salapi o yaman bilang puhunan sa isang negosyo o gawain upang kumita.
EN: to provide capital; to invest
This is the ultimate 'I believe in you' move. It's when you give your friend money to start their online ukay-ukay or milk tea shop. You're not just giving them cash; you're magpapuhunan in their dreams (and hopefully, your future ROI). It's the adult version of lending your classmate 5 pesos for Canteen lunch.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `puhunan` (capital).
Often used in the context of business, finance, or even supporting someone's personal project.
