The OG way to get chismis. Before DMs, Messenger, or group chats, there was 'pag-uusap'. It's that thing your parents want to have with you when your grades drop ('We need to talk'), or what you do with your barkada over coffee for hours. The official term for 'Marites-ing' in person.
From 'pag-' (gerund prefix) + 'usap' (talk).
