EN: about to get up, on the way up
That moment when you're still in bed, scrolling through your phone, pabangon pa lang. You're not fully up, but you're not fully lying down either. It can also be used for a business or a career: "Pabangon pa lang ang negosyo ko after the pandemic." It's the state of "getting there."
From `pa-` (directional/progressive) + `bangon` (to rise, get up).
