EN: port; harbor; pier
It's the airport for boats. The place where ships 'park'. Whether it's a huge container ship from China or the ferry to Boracay, they all end up at a **daungan**. It's a place of hellos and goodbyes, full of OFWs, balikbayan boxes, and the smell of the sea.
From 'daong' (to dock, a large boat) + '-an' suffix (location).
Can refer to a small pier or a large international seaport.
