Usage Note
Maglunsad is the actor-focus form of lunsad, covering both the original sense of disembarking from a vehicle and the now-dominant sense of launching a product, film, album, or ship. It is frequently used in modern Filipino media for product and album launches, where the actor-focus keeps the organization or artist as the subject. The object-focus counterpart ilunsad foregrounds the thing being launched.
