EN: obvious; obviously; done in a way that is noticeable
When you're trying to be subtle but failing spectacularly. That's pahalata. Like when you have a crush and you "accidentally" walk by their desk 17 times. Or when you're 'tampo' and you slam the door just a little too loudly. It's the art of making something known without saying it directly, but everyone gets the message anyway. "Uy, 'wag kang pahalata na may gusto ka sa kanya!"
ROOT MEANING: obvious, apparent, noticeable
