EN: barn, granary, storehouse
Think of it as the province's version of a warehouse or your lola's giant Tupperware for rice. It's where they keep the good stuff safe from the elements and pests before it hits the market or the dinner table. It's the OG 'bodega'.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *kamaliR, meaning "men's house" or "communal house". The meaning shifted to "granary" in many Philippine languages.
Often associated with rural or agricultural settings.
