EN: to pass the buck; to evade responsibility
The ultimate corporate and government strategy. When something goes wrong, you see people magsaluhan ng bola like it's a hot potato. 'It's not my department.' 'Sir, si ano po ang may hawak niyan.' 'I'm just waiting for the email.' It's the national sport of avoiding accountability.
A highly idiomatic phrase. Literally 'to catch the ball for each other,' but it's used figuratively to mean passing responsibility around.
🇵🇭 Tumigil na kayo sa pagsasaluhan ng bola at aminin kung sino ang may kasalanan.
🇺🇸 Stop passing the buck and just admit who is at fault.
