EN: act of entrusting; relinquishment
'Bahala ka na,' but in a more formal, almost poetic way. It's letting go and letting someone else (or God, 'Bahala na si Lord') take the wheel. It's what you do when you've done everything for a group project and your groupmates are still not cooperating—you just leave it to fate. 'Ipinapaubaya ko na sa'yo ang lahat' is peak Filipino drama hugot.
From the prefix "pa-" and the root "ubaya", an old Tagalog word meaning consent, leaving to another's discretion, or tolerance.
Often used in verb forms like 'ipagpaubaya' or 'ipaubaya' (to entrust something to someone). As a noun, it signifies the concept of relinquishment itself.
