FIL: Isang kolokyal na termino na nagpapahiwatig ng pagiging totoo sa sarili, walang pakialam sa opinyon ng iba, at may matatag na paninindigan, kadalasang ginagamit sa kultura ng internet.
EN: based, cool, unbothered
This is what you call someone who speaks their mind without caring about what haters say. They're unapologetically themselves. Think of that one tito at the family reunion who says exactly what everyone's thinking but is too afraid to say. 'Based si Tito, sinabi niya talagang mas masarap luto ni Lola kaysa sa catering.'
From English slang, popularized online in the early 2010s.
Primarily used online and by younger generations. Often used to express approval for an opinion or action that is considered bold or unconventional.
