EN: to illuminate; to light up
From simple commands like 'Pailawan mo nga ang sala' (Light up the living room) to the grand scale of lighting up the giant Christmas tree in the city center. It's what Meralco does (or doesn't do, during a brownout). It's the verb for making things bright, literally.
The 'pa- ... -an' affix combination here means 'to cause light to be on/at a certain place'.
