FIL: Ang araw bago ang kahapon.
EN: the day before yesterday
The official term for that day you can barely remember what you had for lunch. It's not yesterday (kahapon), not today (ngayon), but the one before that. It's the "ay teka, ano nga bang nangyari nun?" of the calendar.
A contraction of 'ika-makalawa' or related to 'ikalawang araw' (second day) in the past.
The corresponding word for 'the day after tomorrow' is 'samakalawa'.
