EN: merit
This is the 'resibo' or proof of your achievements. When your boss promotes you 'based on merit,' it means you got it because you're actually good at your job, not just because you're the 'tito's pamangkin'. It's the opposite of the 'palakasan' system.
From Spanish 'mérito'.
Often used in formal, legal, or academic contexts. The English word 'merit' is also frequently used in code-switching.
