EN: to be confiscated
Remember in high school when the teacher takes your phone for using it in class? 'Yan, *nakumpiska*. Or when airport security takes your oversized bottle of shampoo? *Nakumpiska* rin 'yan. It’s when someone in authority takes your stuff because you broke a rule. The ultimate "lagot ka" moment.

Used in official contexts (police, customs, courts) and informal ones (school, home).
🇵🇭 Maaaring makumpiska ang mga ipinagbabawal na gamit kapag dumaan sa airport security.
