EN: act of evacuating, evacuation
The national sport during typhoon season. When the floodwaters rise or the volcano starts acting up, it's time for pag-eebakwet. It's the organized (or sometimes chaotic) 'Let's get out of here!' moment, usually involving packing your most important belongings: documents, a few clothes, and probably the rice cooker.
From English 'evacuate'.
ROOT MEANING: evacuee
This is the noun form for the future/contemplated action of evacuating. 'Paglikas' is the more traditional Tagalog term. 'Pag-ebakweyt' is a common spelling variant.
