FIL: Isang lugar kung saan inililibing o inilalagak ang mga labi ng mga pumanaw.
EN: cemetery, graveyard, burial ground
The place that suddenly becomes a massive family reunion spot every November 1st. For the rest of the year, it's a quiet, spooky place. But during 'Undas' (All Saints' Day), the **libingan** transforms into a festival ground with food, card games, and families camping out, proving that Filipinos can find a way to have a party anywhere, even here.
From 'libing' (burial) + '-an' (place suffix).
ROOT MEANING: burial, funeral
Refers to the location where burials take place.
