FIL: Ang paglalagay ng isang bagay sa sariling bulsa; karaniwang may negatibong konotasyon ng pagnanakaw o paglustay ng pera na hindi sa iyo.
EN: to pocket; to embezzle
On the surface, it's just putting something in your pocket. But 99% of the time, it means you're taking something that isn't yours. It's the action of that corrupt politician who "pockets" public funds. It's a low-key way of saying "ninakaw." So if someone says "namulsa ng milyon," they didn't just find a million pesos and put it in their pocket.
From "mang-" + "bulsa".
Strongly implies theft or embezzlement, especially of money.
