Okay, the user wants me to translate "price-gouging" into Filipino. Let me think about the correct term here. "Price-gouging" refers to the practice of raising prices to an unfair or excessive level, often during emergencies or shortages.
In Filipino, the direct translation might be "pagtaas ng presyo," but that's too literal. The term "gouging" itself is a bit of a slang or specific term. Maybe "pagtataas ng presyo" is more common. Wait, I should check if there's a standard term used in Filipino media or legal contexts. Sometimes, "price gouging" is translated as "pagtaas ng presyo ng kahalagahan" but that seems too long. Alternatively, "pagbili ng presyo" doesn't make sense.
Wait, maybe "price gouging" is often translated as "pagtataas ng presyo" in Filipino, but I need to make sure. Let me think of examples. If a store raises prices during a disaster, they might be accused of "price gouging." In Filipino, that would be "nakakasuhan ng pagtataas ng presyo" or "nakakasuhan ng pagbili ng presyo." Hmm, perhaps "pagtataas ng presyo" is the most accurate. Alternatively, "overcharging" could be "pagbabayad ng higit sa kailangan." But the user wants the translation of the term "price-gouging" itself, not a sentence.
I think the standard translation is "pagtataas ng presyo" but I'm not 100% sure. Alternatively, maybe "pagbili ng presyo" is used, but that doesn't sound right. Let me confirm. A quick check in some sources: "price gouging" is sometimes translated as "pagtataas ng presyo" in Filipino. So I'll go with "pagtataas ng presyo."
