FIL: Patawan ng hatol o parusa ng isang hukuman pagkatapos mapatunayang nagkasala.
EN: to be sentenced
This is the final boss level of 'mapagalitan'. It's not your mom telling you off; it's a judge with a gavel. When you get 'masentensiyahan', it means the court has spoken, the verdict is in, and you're about to face the consequences. It’s the 'find out' part of the 'f*ck around and find out' equation, legal edition.
From ma- (ability/involuntary action prefix) + sentensiya (sentence, verdict, from Spanish 'sentencia') + -han (locative/benefactive suffix).
Strictly used in a legal context.
