EN: public school
The school where your classroom has 50+ students, the electric fan is a diva that only works sometimes, and the canteen sells the best 'palamig' and 'turon'. It's where you learn resourcefulness, resilience, and how to share one textbook with five other people. The real training ground for life in the Philippines.
Combination of `paaralan` (school) and `bayan` (nation, public).
ROOT MEANING: town; country; nation; people
The hyphenated form is formal. In common speech and writing, `paaralang bayan` (without a hyphen) is also widely used and accepted.
