FIL: Ang paglikha ng malakas at magulong ingay na nakakagambala sa kapayapaan o katahimikan ng isang lugar o ng mga tao.
EN: disturbance, commotion
This is what your kapitbahay's karaoke session at 2 AM on a Tuesday is called. It's the sound of construction next door when you're on a crucial Zoom call. Basically, any loud, annoying noise that makes you want to shout "Hinaan n'yo yan!". It's the official soundtrack of a fiesta or a heated family reunion.
From `bulahaw` (loud noise, uproar). The `paN-` prefix (manifesting as `pam-`) and reduplication creates a noun for the act of making such noise.
ROOT MEANING: uproar; clamor; loud noise
Synonymous with 'panggugulo' or 'pag-iingay' but specifically refers to noise-based disturbance.
