FIL: Isang katawagan para sa isang taong mahilig sa tsismis o pagkalat ng balita tungkol sa buhay ng ibang tao.
EN: gossip; rumormonger
The official name for the designated chismosa of the group. She's the one who always starts with 'Mare, ano'ng latest?' and has the tea on everyone from your neighbor to that celebrity breakup. The patron saint of neighborhood gossip circles and FB comment sections.
A modern portmanteau of the Filipino phrase 'Mare, ano ang latest?' (Friend, what's the latest?).
A very popular slang term that emerged around the 2020s. It is used humorously to refer to a gossipmonger, regardless of gender (the male equivalent is sometimes called 'Tolits' from 'Tol, ano'ng latest?').
