EN: to legislate; to enact a law
This is what senators and congressmen are *supposed* to do. It's the act of turning a bright idea (or a really bad one) into an official rule that everyone has to follow. It's like when the barkada finally makes it official: "Bawal umutang 'pag 'di pa bayad yung luma." Now it's a law.
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `sa` (to make) + `batas` (law).
ROOT MEANING: law; rule
Primarily used in legal and political discourse.
