FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagiging bulok, sira, o tiwali, lalo na sa moral o panlipunang aspeto. Ito ay sumasalamin sa malalim na pagkasira.
EN: Rottenness, decay, corruption
This is when something is rotten to the core. It can be literal, but it's often figurative, like a system riddled with corruption. It's a stronger, more visceral word than just 'kasamaan'. It implies a deep, systemic decay, like finding mold in the very foundations of a house.
From `ka-` (abstract noun prefix) + `burok` (rotten). The variant `kabulukan` from the more common root `bulok` is used more frequently.
ROOT MEANING: young rooster
Often used metaphorically to describe moral or social decay. "Kabulukan" is a more common synonym.
