EN: aid; help; assistance
The magic word of the pandemic era. This is the government-provided goodie bag (or cash) that makes everyone suddenly best friends with the barangay captain. Waiting for ayuda became a national pastime, complete with memes, drama, and a listahan. It's basically "help," but with a political and social-media-frenzy flavor.
From Spanish 'ayuda' (help).
Became extremely common during the COVID-19 pandemic to refer to government aid.
