This is the act of being a 'bandido' or bandit. Historically, it was about highway robbers in the provinces. In modern times, 'kabandiduhan' can feel like what happens when your cell phone gets snatched in Quiapo, or when you see the corruption figures in the news. It's organized lawlessness.
From 'ka-' + 'bandido' + '-han'. 'Bandido' is from Spanish 'bandido'.
ROOT MEANING: bandit, outlaw
