EN: rather; on the contrary
This is the formal, 'maka-Lolo Jose Rizal' way of saying 'actually...' or 'on the contrary...' It's the word you use to pivot and correct a statement. 'Hindi siya galit, bagkus nagtatampo lamang.' You won't hear this in everyday chismisan, but you'll see it in textbooks, legal documents, or a very dramatic formal speech.
Old Tagalog.
A formal or literary conjunction. In casual speech, "kundi" or "sa halip" are more common.
