FIL: Isang maliit at simpleng tirahan na karaniwang gawa sa mga magaang materyales tulad ng nipa, kawayan, o kahoy.
EN: hut, shack, hovel
A small, humble hut, often made of nipa and bamboo. Think of a simple bahay kubo. Nowadays, it's also a popular concept for seafood restaurants ('dampa-style') where you buy fresh seafood from a nearby market (palengke) and have the restaurant cook it for you ('paluto'). So it can mean a humble home or a place for a glorious seafood feast.
Can refer to a poor dwelling or, in a modern context, a type of seafood restaurant.
