EN: to make do with; to fit
This is the art of "budgeting". Yung 500 pesos mo na kailangan mong mapagkasiya for the rest of the week until sahod. It's also about fitting 15 people in a 10-seater jeepney. The ultimate Filipino skill of making things work, no matter how limited the resources. "Diskarte" is its best friend.
