/mag-pa-re-pa-RE-ha/
FIL: Ang pagkakaroon ng pagkakapareho o pagkakaisa sa katangian ng lahat ng miyembro ng isang grupo.
EN: to all be the same; to be uniform
This is 'magpareho' but on a group level. It's when the whole barkada decides to wear white for a beach trip, or when all the answers in a multiple-choice test are suspiciously 'C'. 'Para iwas gulo, dapat magpare-pareha na lang ang uniform sa opisina.' (To avoid trouble, the office uniforms should just all be the same.) It implies uniformity across more than two items.
From mag- (verb-forming prefix) + pare-pareha (reduplication of pareha, indicating plurality).
ROOT MEANING: same, alike, equal
The reduplication of 'pare-' from 'pareho' indicates that the similarity applies to all members of a group (three or more).
