EN: storing, stockpiling, hoarding
This is your tita's superpower. It's the art of buying things in bulk 'cause they're on sale and storing them for a rainy day (or a zombie apocalypse). It ranges from the practical (storing rice) to the questionable (hoarding empty ice cream tubs). During the pandemic, this was everyone's hobby with alcohol and toilet paper.
From 'pag-' (nominalizer) + 'imbak' (to store).
Can have a neutral meaning (storing) or a negative one (hoarding), depending on the context.
🇵🇭 Ang pag-iimbak ng pagkain ay mahalaga bilang paghahanda sa bagyo.
🇺🇸 Storing food is important in preparation for a typhoon.
🇵🇭 Ipinagbabawal ang pag-iimbak ng gasolina sa mga bahay-bahay.
