FIL: Salaping yari sa papel na may tiyak na halaga, na inisyu ng pamahalaan o bangko sentral.
EN: paper money
Literally 'paper money.' This is the stuff you hopefully get on payday, not the barya (coins) you use for pamasahe. The kind that folds, not jingles. The blue one (1000 pesos) is everyone's favorite color.
From Spanish 'cuarta' (a former Spanish coin) which evolved into the Tagalog 'kuwalta' (money) + 'papel' (paper).
Compound noun. 'Kuwarta' is often used interchangeably with 'pera'.
