EN: the act of chasing; pursuit
This is the official sport of students on deadline week, also known as "habol sa requirements." It's that frantic feeling when you're running after the last jeepney at night, or when you're trying to catch up on the latest chismis. It's the hustle to catch something—or someone—that's getting away.
From "pag-" (gerund-forming prefix) + "habol" (chase).
