EN: to peep, to spy on
The act of being a 'Marites' in secret. It's when you're trying to see something you're not supposed to see, peeking through a crack in the door, a hole in the wall, or over someone's shoulder at their phone. The OG way of gathering chismis before social media stalking was a thing.
ROOT MEANING: to peep
'Manilip' implies a more secretive and potentially forbidden act of looking compared to the more neutral 'sumilip' (to take a peek).
