EN: to make someone be thrifty
This is your mom's superpower. It's when she tells you, "Anak, isang kilong bigas na lang 'to," to guilt-trip you into not buying that milk tea. It's the command form of "magtipid ka, uy!"
From pa- (causative) + pag- (causative/agentive) + tipid (thrifty). The pa- and pag- combination creates a complex causative verb, meaning "to make someone do the action of the root word."
