EN: to give a souvenir to someone
This is what you do for your officemates when you come back from vacation. You don't want them to think you forgot about them while you were sipping cocktails on a beach, so you **pasalubungan** them with keychains or local delicacies. It's the verb form of the national debt you owe everyone after a trip.
ROOT MEANING: act of meeting or fetching someone; reception
Often confused with the noun 'pasalubong' (gift/souvenir). This is the action of giving that gift. The '-an' suffix here directs the action towards a person.
🇵🇭 Huwag mong kalimutang pasalubungan ang iyong mga kapatid pag-uwi mo.
