EN: group of friends; clique; squad
Your ultimate squad, your ride-or-die crew. The term was popularized by the long-running noontime show "Eat Bulaga!" It's a playful reversal of the syllables of "barkada." If you have 'dabarkads', you're never truly alone, whether it's for an impromptu beach trip or just sharing a single order of large fries.
Syllabic reversal of "barkada," which is from Spanish "barcada" (boatload).
ROOT MEANING: group of friends
Primarily informal and colloquial. Widely understood due to its media exposure.
