FIL: Ang pinuno ng gobyerno sa isang sistemang parlyamentaryo, na karaniwang lider din ng partidong may mayorya sa lehislatura.
EN: prime minister
The "President" of countries that have a king or queen, but the royal is mostly for show (like the UK or Japan). They're the head honcho of the government, the main character in the political drama, while the monarch is the executive producer. The Philippines doesn't have one, so we just call our leader "Pangulo."
Loan translation from English "prime minister," using `kataas-taasan` (highest) and `ministro` (minister).
ROOT MEANING: height; upper part; upstairs
This is a direct translation and less common than the English loanword "Prime Minister" or the Tagalog "Punong Ministro."
