/u-ma-BU-loy/
FIL: Ang pagbibigay ng tulong na pinansyal o materyal, karaniwan para sa isang namatayan, may sakit, o para sa isang kawanggawa.
EN: to contribute; to donate (especially for a wake or cause)
This is what you do when you see a GCash QR code for a friend's sick relative or when you drop a few coins in the donation box at a wake. It's the Filipino 'bayanihan' spirit in financial form. It's not just giving money, it's showing you're there for them, kahit sa konting halaga lang. More formal than 'nag-ambag'.
From the root word 'abuloy' (contribution) with the infix '-um-'.
Strongly associated with giving financial or material aid for funerals, medical expenses, or community projects.
