EN: a snatch; a grab
This is the action of grabbing something with lightning speed. Like when the last piece of Jollibee chicken is on the table, and everyone makes a dive for it. That's *sunggab*. It’s the ultimate 'dibs' move. Or when a snatcher on the street quickly grabs your phone.
Often implies a forceful, sudden, or even aggressive action. The verb form 'sumunggab' is very common.

🇺🇸 With just one snatch from the crocodile, the victim was gone.
