EN: to get something with a pole or hook
The ultimate Pinoy life hack for reaching things. This is what you do to get a ripe mango from a high branch using a long bamboo pole (panungkit). It's also the skill you use to fish out your keys that fell into a drain, or to grab that last bag of chips from the top shelf at the grocery. It’s the art of extending your reach.
The tool used is called a 'panungkit'. The action is 'sumungkit'.
