EN: capitol (building)
This is the shortcut way of saying 'kapitolyo', the provincial capitol building. It's like saying 'Munti' for 'Muntinlupa'. You say it when you're giving jeepney directions: "Para po, sa may kapitol lang." It's not technically correct for formal writing, but everyone knows what you mean.
Shortened form of 'kapitolyo', from Spanish 'capitolio'.
'Kapitolyo' is the standard and formal term. 'Kapitol' is informal and conversational.
