FIL: Isang lugar o kalagayan na nagbibigay ng proteksyon, kalinga, at kapanatagan mula sa panganib o hirap.
EN: refuge, shelter, sanctuary
Your kanlungan is your safe space. It could be your bedroom after a toxic day at work, your favorite coffee shop, or in the arms of your jowa (bf/gf). It's that place where you can finally exhale and say, "Hay, salamat." It's more than just a roof; it's a feeling of safety.
From `kanlong`, an old word for shelter, with the `-an` suffix denoting a place. Likely related to `kalong` (to hold in one's lap).
Has a more poetic and deep emotional connotation than just 'silungan' (shelter from rain/sun).
