EN: to be in last place; to be a tail-ender
This is the 'sana all' feeling in reverse. When your team is at the bottom of the UAAP standings or you're the last one to finish the 5k fun run, you mangulalat. It's the official verb for being the kulelat. But hey, at least you finished the race, 'di ba? Hugot: Sa pag-ibig, mas okay nang mangulalat kaysa hindi sumali sa karera.
ROOT MEANING: last place; tail-ender
