How it is used in Bolivia

A common way to promise ongoing attention without overpromising an action.

For a weather-dependent flight the office asks you to 'estar pendiente', keep your phone on and watch for a message. It's the small habit that makes a cancellation manageable: you confirm the day before, stay reachable, and they tell you the moment plans change.
