EN: to act as a chaperone
The act of being the designated 'bantay.' You're the third (or fifth) wheel, not for romance, but for surveillance. This is what your Kuya does when a suitor visits, or what a teacher does at a school dance. Your mission: to make sure nothing *too* exciting happens. You're the human CCTV.
From English 'chaperone', from French 'chaperon'.
Often used in the context of dating, family gatherings, or school events.
