/ka-bu-O/
FIL: Isang tao na bahagi ng isang kabuuan o pangkat; isang kasama sa isang organisasyon, departamento, o grupo.
EN: Colleague, fellow member
This is like your 'work-fam' or 'team-mate'. You might not be best friends, but you're part of the same project, department, or organization. You share the same 'kabuuan' (wholeness) of the group. It’s more formal than 'barkada' but less intimate than 'kapatid'.
From the prefix `ka-` (denoting a shared relationship) and `buo` (whole, complete).
Not a very common word in everyday speech, more likely to be found in formal or organizational contexts like memos or official meetings.
