EN: to post bail
That scene in every Pinoy action movie where the hero's sidekick gets arrested and the bida has to scramble for cash. To 'magpiyansa' is to pay the court to get someone out of jail temporarily. It's basically a super expensive 'get out of jail free' card that you still have to pay for.
From Spanish 'fianza' (bail, bond).
Strictly a legal term. The amount is set by the court.
