The fancy way of saying "the other way around" or "ganun din pabalik." You use this when you're trying to sound smart in a meeting or a school report. "I respect my boss, and bise bersa." It saves you the effort of repeating the entire sentence in reverse. Efficiency is key!
From English "vice versa", which is from Latin "vice versā" (the position being turned).
A formal-sounding phrase often used in writing and formal speech. It is a direct phonetic borrowing.
