EN: murderer
This is the ultimate kontrabida in any teleserye, the one who does the unspeakable. It's not just someone who kills your vibe; this is the real deal, criminal-level stuff. The term literally means 'will kill person.'
From 'mamamatay' (future tense of 'pumatay', to kill) and 'tao' (person).
A compound noun often used in news reports and legal contexts. It specifically refers to a person who kills another person.
