EN: struggled, resisted, fought back
When you're about to be 'ipis-shamed' by your mom with a slipper and you actually try to fight back. It's that sudden burst of defiance, whether it's against your boss's unreasonable OT request or when your friend tries to steal the last piece of chicken. 'Huwag kang papalag-palag diyan!'
From root 'palag', meaning to wriggle or struggle.
Often used to describe physical struggling or verbal defiance. The command form is 'Huwag kang pumalag!' (Don't resist!).
