EN: commonwealth
For most Filipinos, this word means one thing: traffic. It's the name of a super long, super wide avenue in Quezon City notorious for its legendary traffic jams, earning it the nickname "killer highway." Historically, it was our "in-a-relationship-but-it's-complicated" status with the USA before full independence. Now, it's just a place where your patience and driving skills go to die.
From English 'commonwealth'.
Heavily associated with Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City. The historical meaning refers to the Commonwealth of the Philippines (1935–1946).
