EN: remittance; package; something sent
For millions of Filipino families, 'padala' is more than just a word; it's a lifeline. It's the monthly remittance from an OFW parent, the balikbayan box full of chocolates and Spam, or even just the Gcash you send your sibling for their lunch. It's a tangible proof of love, hard work, and connection across distances. It's the reason why Western Union, LBC, and Palawan Express are household names.
Mula sa salitang-ugat na 'dala' (to carry) at ang unlaping 'pa-' na nagpapahiwatig ng pagpapakilos o pagpapasagawa (to cause to be carried/sent).
ROOT MEANING: load, baggage, something carried
Maaaring tumukoy sa pera, isang kahon o pakete, o anumang ipinadalang bagay.
