EN: is standing up
This is what you do when the national anthem plays, when an elder enters the room, or when your legs are numb from sitting too long while binge-watching a K-drama. "Tumatayo balahibo ko," is what you say when you get goosebumps from a horror story or a really powerful song. It can also mean "running for" a position, like in an election.
Present progressive tense of "tayo" (to stand). Can also mean "acting as" or "fulfilling the role of," e.g., "Siya ang tumatayong ama ng pamilya" (He is acting as the father of the family).
