EN: hospice; orphanage; asylum
The local spelling of 'hospicio'. It's a place for the needy—orphans, the elderly, the terminally ill. It has a heavy, serious vibe, often associated with charity and last resorts. You'd say "ampunan" for an orphanage, but 'hospisyo' sounds more formal and all-encompassing.
From Spanish "hospicio".
This spelling is more common in modern Filipino than its Spanish counterpart "hospicio".
