EN: act of brushing one's teeth
The daily ritual your dentist begs you to do three times a day. It's that two-minute buffer between you and the world in the morning, and the final boss you have to defeat before collapsing into bed at night. The success of your pagsisipilyo determines if your breath is "mabango" or if people will practice social distancing around you even without a pandemic.
From pag- + si- + sipilyo (toothbrush, from Spanish 'cepillo').
