FIL: Isang puwersa ng pulisya na may kapangyarihang militar, partikular na tumutukoy sa Philippine Constabulary (PC) na dating sangay ng sandatahang lakas ng Pilipinas.
EN: constabulary
This is a major throwback term. Before there was the PNP (Philippine National Police), there was the PC or the Philippine Constabulary. Ask your lolo, he'll probably have stories about the "Konstabularyo." They were the police force with a more military-style structure. Today, it's mostly a historical term, like a landline or a floppy disk.
From Spanish 'constabulario'.
Primarily a historical term referring to the now-defunct Philippine Constabulary (1901-1991), which was a gendarmerie-type force.
