EN: to whistle
The classic move of the 'tambay sa kanto' when a pretty girl walks by. It's what the security guard does to get your attention, or what you do when you're trying to call your dog. It can be a catcall, a signal, or just you trying to remember a song's melody.
Often associated with catcalling ('paninipol'), but its neutral meaning is simply to whistle. 'Sumipol' is a more common synonym.
