EN: to nationalize
This is what happens when the government decides, "You know what? That big telco/power company/landholding looks better under our management." It's like your parents taking over your small sari-sari store business because they think they can run it better for the "good of the family." It's a huge economic and political move, often controversial.
From Spanish 'nacional' (national) and the Tagalog suffix '-isahin'.
