FIL: Isang sangay ng hukbo na binubuo ng mga sundalong nakasakay sa kabayo.
EN: cavalry
The original 'fast and furious' of the army. Before tanks and jeeps, these were the guys on horseback charging into battle. Today, it's mostly ceremonial, like the guards you see in historical movies or at fancy parades. They're the OG horsepower.
A compound of 'hukbo' (army) and 'kabayuhan' (pertaining to horses, from 'kabayo').
Primarily a historical term, but can refer to modern ceremonial units on horseback.
