Question about Filipino
What is the method-focus verb conjugation of the root word "punta"? Is this "ipangpunta"?
For example, using the root word "tahi", you say "ipantahi".
using the root word "hugas", you say "ipanghugas".
using the root word "palengke", you say "ipamalengke".
Like "Ipamalengke mo nito ang pera na ito" (By using this money, you buy it)
Then, the "go" version of this method-focus verb is "ipangpunta"?
Do you say like this? e.g., "Ipangpunta mo na lang dyan ang MRT."

There's no such word as 'ipangpunta' in Tagalog.

It's not common tho that's why others say its unnatural.
ex:
Nanay: Anak bigyan kita ng 20 pesos.
Sa halip na ikain mo yan ng ice cream ipampunta/ipangpunta mo na lang sa sayawan.
but nowadays they would say "ipang-sayaw"
Nanay:
Anak bigyan kita ng 20pesos. Sa halip na ikain mo yan ng ice cream ipang-sayaw mo na lang.

The "ipamalengke mo ang perang ito" is correct.
ex:
Ipamalengke mo ang perang ito. Wag mong ipangsugal.
