EN: Conspiracy; collusion
This is the ultimate "group project" from hell. When your team secretly plots to overthrow the boss, or when your friends conspire to surprise you on your birthday (but the evil version is more dramatic). It's the "us against the world" vibe, but make it illegal or shady. The OG "Team Building" for villains.
From "sabwat" (conspiracy). The "pag- -an" affix with reduplication of the first syllable of the root ("sa") indicates the act or process of doing something.
Often carries a negative and serious connotation, implying illegal or harmful activities.
