lakad ang bulan

Etymology
Literally, "the moon goes beyond (the zenith)," so called because the moon at this phase goes farther away each day to the east of the zenith when darkness falls, and moving towards that position later in the evening.

Noun

 * 1)  second quarter; waxing gibbous; lunar phase between half-moon and going into full moon

Usage notes

 * Traditionally, the night after the half-moon is designated as "unang lakad" or "primerong lakad" (first lakad), and the succeeding nights up until the full moon are named accordingly by ordinal numbers; e.g. "ikaduhang lakad", "ikatulong lakad", ... "ikapitong lakad".
