FIL: Magkaroon ng kakayahang kumita o magkaroon ng tubo sa isang negosyo; o ang kakayahang magpatubo o magpalago ng isang halaman.
EN: to be able to earn a profit; to be able to grow
This word has two vibes. First, the business tita/tito vibe: "How much can I 'makatubo' from this investment?" (to profit). Second, the plantita/plantito vibe: "Will this cutting 'makatubo'?" (to be able to grow/sprout). It's all about getting something to grow, whether it's your bank account or your succulent collection.
The context (business or gardening) clarifies the meaning. 'Tubo' can mean profit or sprout.
