BEK

This is commonly used during shootarounds. If you make a shot, you say “bek” to get the ball
back for a second attempt. A variation of this is “bek, shoot” where you keep getting the ball
back as long as you keep making shots.

PATAY ANG BUTIKI

Referred to a shot that hits nothing but the side of the backboard, which usually happens
with baseline jumpers.

BUTATA/SUPALPAL

A pretty nasty block.

BAKAW/BUWAYA

These are often used to call someone who doesn’t seem to like passing that much. The
person has his blinders on, hogs the ball and doesn’t trust his teammates. You don’t want to
be called this so don’t be a blackhole.

PEKTUS

This usually works with layups. When you have a tough angle on the shot, you use a little
english on the ball by flicking it with your wrist so that when the ball hits the backboard it
has a chance to go in.

PANIS

Use this each time you own your defender on a play or hit a contested shot over him. Saying
“panis” is like rubbing it in. It’s the local version of “IN YOUR FACE!”

SWAK

The term ballers use to refer to a shot that finds nothing but the bottom of the net. Clean as
a whistle. Use “swak” the same way you use it to describe something that fell perfectly into
place or is just right.

the Filipino terms for blocked shots

supalpal

the fact that they can be put into present form makes them really effective --- as opposed to

the almost extinct Filipino terms for dunks

Pinalakol - maybe its because Chino Trinidad isnt on the commentators panel anymore, i only
credit him for this as far as his commentator work goes. hehe (I think he even said 'pinalakol
sa puso ng ring' after Tony Harris completed an alleyoop in 1997 or 1998 season.

Sinalaksak - I dunno why but I associate this term a lot to Marlou Aquino and Bong Alvarez.

Sumakay ka pa!!!
