EN: because it is/he is/she is
The shorter, more poetic, and slightly more dramatic version of 'palibhasa'. It's like upgrading your chismis from a text message to a spoken word performance. "Palibhasa'y pagod, natulog siya agad." It just flows better, perfect for when you're telling a story with flair. It's the 'it's' to 'it is'.
Contraction of 'palibhasa' + 'ay'.
Functions identically to "palibhasa ay". More common in written or formal speech.
