EN: to take up arms
This is the historical drama/RPG hero moment. When peaceful protests fail and the oppressed have had enough, they *sumamsam ng sandata*. It's the transition from dialogue to action, from holding placards to holding bolos or rifles. It's the "Let's get ready to rumble!" of a revolution.
A formal and somewhat literary phrase used to describe rebellion, revolution, or armed struggle.
