EN: to become a bandit/outlaw
Think old-school Robin Hood, but Pinoy version, living in the mountains. This is what characters in historical epics do when they're wronged by the 'haciendero' or the Spanish government. They run to the hills, grow a bigote, and start ambushing people. It's the ultimate act of rebellion from a bygone era.
