Another Filipino word which one would maybe encounter when the conversation is about party, potluck, or even a group activity. Let's say any activity where it was decided that members or anyone, contributes in any way. And that's where the word ambag comes in.
What does the Filipino word ambag means?
Ambag - to chip in, contribute or give a share into a group's activity, event, or any occasion. This could be in any form such as money or items needed but mostly pertains to money.
To say that people are going to contribute or chip in, mag-aambag-ambag. Mag-aambag-ambag kami for next week's celebration so we can prepare a lot of food.
To indicate the present tense or to say that, this repetitively happens, let's say for example the people from Peace Village do this every town fiesta, nag-aambag-ambag kami every year's town fiesta to prepare a lot of food and games for the kids and visitors.
And of course, the past tense to finish the post and the tenses. Nag-ambag-ambag to say you chipped in or gave your share to the group.
