EN: act of making an excuse; taking advantage
This is the art of "making an excuse." It's when you say, "Sorry, I'm late, traffic kasi," but you really just woke up late. The word itself, `palibhasa`, is the conjunction "because" or "since" but with a hint of judgment. So `pagpalibhasa` is the act of using that judgmental "because." "Nag-iinarte lang 'yan, pagpalibhasa'y bunso."
From `pag-` + `palibhasa`. The origin of `libhasa` is less clear but related to justification or reason.
Carries a negative connotation, implying that the reason given is a weak excuse or that someone is unfairly taking advantage of a situation. The conjunction `palibhasa` is more common than the noun `pagpalibhasa`.
