EN: nation
It's the bigger, more formal version of 'bansa'. Think of it as the 'in a relationship' status of a country with its people. It's what politicians talk about during SONA. It’s the whole squad, the entire archipelago, from Aparri to Jolo, united (in theory) by flag, language, and a shared love for adobo.
From Spanish 'nación'.
More formal and less common in everyday conversation than 'bansa'. Often used in political, academic, or formal contexts.
