EN: accountability
This is that thing your boss keeps talking about during performance reviews. It’s the grown-up version of "aminin mo na, kasalanan mo!" (just admit it, it's your fault!). In politics, it’s what everyone demands but rarely gets. In a relationship, it's saying "sorry, my bad" instead of "kasalanan mo 'to, 'di ka nag-remind!" (this is your fault, you didn't remind me!). It’s owning your mess.
From English "accountability." Its usage in Filipino is widespread, especially in corporate, legal, and political discourse.
While "pananagutan" is the direct Tagalog equivalent, "accountability" is often preferred in formal and business settings for its specific nuance of being answerable for outcomes.
