/ba-HA/
FIL: Ang pag-apaw ng tubig na nagdudulot ng paglubog sa karaniwang tuyo na lupa.
EN: flood
The unwanted sequel to a 'bagyo'. Baha is when the streets of Manila turn into a temporary Venice, but way less romantic. It's when your commute becomes an extreme water sport, and 'hanggang bewang' (waist-deep) becomes a standard unit of measurement. It's the reason why Filipinos are experts at lifting their feet inside a jeepney.
Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *bahaq.
Often occurs after heavy rains or typhoons.
