FIL: Isang tao na nagbabantay, nagpoprotekta, o nangangalaga sa isang tao, lugar, o bagay.
EN: guardian, guard
Not to be confused with your 'tita' who becomes your legal guardian. This is more like the security guard at the bank, the BPO building, or your subdivision. They're the ones you give a friendly nod to, the keepers of the logbook, and the first line of defense against unannounced visitors and food delivery mishaps. The quintessential 'Kuya Guard'.
From English "guardian", adapted into Filipino.
Often used interchangeably with 'guwardiya' (from Spanish 'guardia') or the more casual 'sekyu' (from 'security guard'). 'Gardyan' is a direct, modern borrowing from English.
