EN: congested with traffic
This describes EDSA. All day, every day. It's the state of being for any major road in Manila during rush hour (which is now from 6 AM to 10 PM). If a road is 'matrapik,' better bring a book, a power bank, and the patience of a saint. It's not just traffic, it's a lifestyle.
From the Filipino adjective-forming prefix 'ma-' and the Filipinized spelling 'trapik' from the English 'traffic'.
ROOT MEANING: traffic (colloquial)
Used to describe a place or a condition, as opposed to the verb 'matraffic' which describes the action of being stuck.
