EN: piracy, sea robbery
Basically, the OG version of downloading movies illegally, but with actual boats, swords, and parrots. Think Captain Jack Sparrow, but instead of looking for treasure, they're stealing cargo from a 2GO vessel. It's high-stakes 'budol-budol' on the high seas.
From `pang-` + `dambong` (to plunder) + `sa dagat` (at sea).
This is a specific legal and historical term. 'Pandarambong' alone means plunder, often used for large-scale government corruption. Adding 'sa dagat' specifies it to the sea.
