EN: to carry on the head
The ultimate balancing act, pre-yoga craze. Think of the vendors in the province carrying a 'bilao' full of goods on their head, walking like it's nothing. It's a skill that requires more balance than your work-life-love triangle.
From the root word 'pindong', meaning something carried on the head.
A less common word in modern urban Tagalog, but understood in provincial or literary contexts. 'Sunungin' is a more common synonym.
