Your kodigo during an exam? That's a 'pandaya'. That 'get rich quick' scheme your tito fell for? 'Pandaya'. The filter you use that changes your entire face? Ultimate 'pandaya'. It's any tool or tactic you use when you're not playing fair, from a simple card trick to a full-blown political scam.
From `pang-` + `daya` (trick, fraud). The `pang-` affix indicates a tool or means for an action.
While 'daya' is the act of cheating, 'pandaya' is the tool or method used for cheating.
