FIL: Isang pormal na pagpayag o lisensya na gawin ang isang bagay.
EN: permission, consent, permit
This is the official "go signal." It's what you need from your parents to go on a trip, from your boss to take a leave, or from the government before you can build anything. Without this, you're basically saying, "It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission," which, let's be real, doesn't always work out in the Philippines.
From 'pa-' + 'hintulot' (consent).
Often used in formal contexts, like legal documents, office memos, or when asking for a parent's blessing.
