EN: to hold a sit-in protest
The ultimate "Dito lang kami" protest move. It's when a group gets so fed up, they collectively decide to park their butts somewhere—like a lobby, an office, or a street—and refuse to leave. It's less about shouting and more about being an unmovable, seated inconvenience for a cause.
From English 'sit-in'.
A loanword verb, often heard in the context of activism, labor disputes, or student protests. The root 'sisti' is a Filipinized form of 'sit-in'. The '-an' suffix implies reciprocal or group action.
