When a typhoon goes full beast mode and destroys everything in its path, that's 'manalasa'. It's the ultimate 'you shall not pass... without getting wrecked' moment from Mother Nature. Also what your mom does to your room when she's cleaning it and finds your secret stash of snacks.
Often used to describe the destructive force of typhoons, floods, or other disasters. Can also be used figuratively for a person causing chaos.
