FIL: Gumamit ng payong bilang proteksyon sa ulan o init ng araw.
EN: to use an umbrella
The most practical advice your nanay will ever give you. "Magpayong ka!" is the Philippine equivalent of "I love you, please don't get sick or turn 5 shades darker." It's a survival skill for both rainy season and high-noon UV rays.
Can also be used figuratively to mean "to give advice" (`magpayo`), but the literal meaning of using an umbrella is more common for this specific word form.
