EN: the act of roaming or wandering around frequently
Your default setting on a Saturday with your barkada. 'Tara, gala tayo!' is the battle cry. Paggagala is the art of aimless walking, usually ending up in a mall, a coffee shop, or your friend's house unannounced. It's the opposite of being a house potato. It implies this is a regular thing for you.
`pag-` + reduplication of the first syllable of the root `ga-` + `gala`. The reduplication indicates a frequentative or habitual action.
ROOT MEANING: stroll, trip, wandering
This form implies a more frequent, habitual, or extended act of wandering compared to the simpler 'paggala'.
