EN: to push
This is what you do to a broken-down car in the middle of EDSA, or what you do to your friend para mauna ka sa pila ng milk tea. It's the opposite of 'hila' (pull). 'Wag mo akong itulak sa kasalanan!' is a classic Pinoy movie line. It can also mean 'to peddle' illegal substances, so context is key!
ROOT MEANING: push
Can also mean 'to peddle' or 'to sell illegally,' especially in the context of drugs (e.g., magtulak ng droga).
