EN: act of removing or detaching
Ever tried to peel off a price tag in one go but it tears apart? That struggle is 'pagtangtang'. It's removing the campaign sticker from your gate after elections, taking down the Christmas decors in February (or March, no judgment), or detaching yourself from a toxic situationship.
Often used for things that are stuck, posted, or attached. Synonymous with 'pag-alis' or 'pagbaklas' but with a nuance of peeling or unsticking.
