FIL: Isang tao na laging nagnanais na maging sentro ng atensyon o ang bida sa anumang sitwasyon, kadalasan sa paraang nakakainis sa iba.
EN: show-off; attention-seeker
The person in your group project who does the least work but presents the most. The friend who always has a "better" story to tell right after you share yours. It's someone who loves the spotlight a little *too* much. In the office, they're the one who CCs the entire C-suite on a minor email. "Hayaan mo na siya, pabida talaga 'yan."
From `pa-` (to act like) + `bida` (protagonist/hero), from Spanish `vida` (life, but adopted in Filipino theater to mean protagonist).
ROOT MEANING: protagonist, hero, main character
Almost always used with a negative connotation. Can also be used as an adjective.
