EN: judge
The person in the courtroom with the fancy robe and the little hammer (gavel). They're the ultimate decider, the "final answer" in a legal battle. In Pinoy culture, your lola can also be the huwes of the family, passing judgment on your life choices, your weight, and why you're still single. "Order in the court!"
From Spanish 'juez' (judge).
The formal term is 'hukom,' but 'huwes' is very common in everyday speech.
