EN: to show off; to try to impress
This is the person in the group project who does the fanciest PowerPoint slides but contributed zero to the content. It’s the act of seeking the spotlight, of trying to be the ‘bida’ (main character). Sometimes it’s harmless, like a kid showing you they can stand on one foot. Other times, it’s that annoying officemate who CCs the boss on every single email. "Magpasikat" is the verb for anyone who's a little too thirsty for attention.
Often carries a slightly negative or critical connotation, implying that the effort to impress is obvious or excessive.
