FIL: Ang pagdiriwang ng isang kapistahan, karaniwang may kasamang handaan, parada, at mga seremonyang panrelihiyon.
EN: to celebrate a fiesta; to feast
The ultimate Filipino 'go big or go home' event. To 'magpista' is to throw a party for the entire town, where your house is open to strangers, the lechon is the star, and the karaoke machine will be abused until 4 AM. It's the annual upgrade from a simple handaan to a full-blown barangay-level blowout.
From Spanish 'fiesta' (feast, festival).
Often used in the context of town fiestas honoring a patron saint. The verb can be used in its infinitive form or conjugated for tense (e.g., nagpista - past, magpipista - future).
