EN: to be able to break free; to escape
That feeling when you finally log off after a toxic day of back-to-back meetings. It's the bird escaping its cage, the prisoner finding freedom. On a less dramatic note, it's you finally getting out of a family gathering you didn't want to be at. "Sana makaalpas na ako sa toxic kong trabaho." is a common prayer.
