FIL: Isang artipisyal na daluyan ng tubig o ibang likido, tulad ng kanal o alulod, na ginawa upang maialis ang labis na tubig sa isang lugar.
EN: drainage, canal, gutter
This is the unsung hero of every rainy season in the Philippines. It's the canal by the side of the road that's either working perfectly or, more often, clogged with plastic bags and last year's campaign posters, causing the baha (flood). It's the gutter on your roof that directs rainwater away... or directly onto your neighbor's laundry.
From `pa-` + `agos` (flow) + `-an` (location suffix). Literally, "a place for flowing."
Refers to any man-made channel for liquid flow.
