EN: provincemate
The instant connection you feel when you find out your new officemate is also from Batangas, Pampanga, or Cebu. Suddenly, you have an ally, a potential source for local delicacies, and someone who gets your specific regional accent. "Uy, kaprobinsiya pala kita!" is the start of a beautiful friendship (and maybe a pasalubong exchange).
From 'ka-' (denoting company or shared quality) + 'probinsiya' (from Spanish 'provincia').
The prefix 'ka-' is very productive in Tagalog to mean 'fellow X' or 'co-X'.
