EN: to fight with someone; to quarrel
This is when you decide to throw down, verbally or physically. It's the "Tara, labas!" (Come on, let's take this outside!) energy. Not just being angry, but actively engaging in a conflict with someone, whether it's over a parking spot, the last piece of chicken, or because they saw your chat history.
From `maki-` (social prefix) + `pag-` (action prefix) + `away` (fight).
