FIL: Ang bilang na kasunod ng labing-apat at bago ang labing-anim; katumbas ng 15.
EN: fifteen
The number 15. The most important day of the month for many employees: "A-kinse na!" (It's the 15th!), also known as PAYDAY. It's half of "kinse-trenta" (15th and 30th), the two holiest days in the corporate calendar. Also, the age you can't wait to leave behind for your debut at 18.
From Spanish "quince" (fifteen).
The Spanish-derived number is more common in everyday speech for dates and money than the native Tagalog 'labinlima'.
