EN: to petition
When you and your barkada are so fed up with a policy (or the slow internet) that you decide to do something about it, government-style. To 'magpitisyon' is to gather signatures, make a formal complaint, and hope someone in charge actually reads it. It's the 'I'd like to speak to the manager,' but with paperwork and more people.
From Spanish 'petición' (petition).
Used in legal, political, or formal organizational contexts.
