EN: to give instructions; to enjoin
This is what your mom does before she leaves for the palengke, a 15-minute speech about everything you should and shouldn't do. "Hugas plato, walis, bawal mag-cellphone!" It’s giving last-minute, super important instructions. In a more serious context, it’s what someone does in a last will and testament. The ultimate "Huling Paalam."
mag- (verb affix) + tagubilin (instruction, will)
Carries a formal and serious tone, often implying finality or great importance. 'Habilin' is a more common synonym in everyday speech.
