EN: to stroll
The cure for 'na-bored ako sa bahay.' It's your tita inviting you to 'mamasyal sa mall' (which really means shopping), your friends planning a beach trip, or just you taking a walk in the park to get some fresh air and maybe buy some dirty ice cream. It's the general term for going out for fun.
From 'ma-' + 'pasyal' (a walk, a trip). Likely influenced by Spanish 'pasear' (to walk).
ROOT MEANING: a stroll, a short trip, an outing
A very common verb for leisure activities, including strolling, sightseeing, or simply going out for pleasure.
