EN: maneuver
That tricky move you pull to get the last parallel parking spot in Greenbelt. Or, the 'palusot' you make to avoid doing a chore. It's a calculated move, a stratagem. In office politics, a 'maneobra' could be how you subtly get credit for a project. On the road, it's how a jeepney driver cuts across three lanes.
From Spanish 'maniobra' (maneuver).
Used for both physical movements (like driving) and strategic actions (like in politics or business).
