EN: to finish off one another; to eliminate each other
This is Hunger Games, Filipino style. It's when a conflict gets so intense that the goal is for everyone to take each other down, like in a political dynasty feud or the last ten minutes of a battle royale game. "Bahala na, magtiwasan na tayo dito!" It's mutual destruction, a zero-sum game where nobody wins in the end.
Implies a mutual and often violent process of elimination among a group. A very strong and dramatic word.
