FIL: Anumang kasangkapan o bagay na ginagamit sa pananakit o paghampas nang malakas sa isang tao, hayop, o bagay.
EN: something used for beating; a club or cudgel
This is the weapon of choice for angry moms: the tsinelas, the walis tambo, the sinturon. Anything that can be used to deliver a good old-fashioned 'palo'. It's the 'instrument of disciplinary action' in a Filipino household, or in a more serious context, any blunt object used in a fight.
From `pang-` (which becomes `pam-`) + `bugbog` (to beat, maul).
Can refer to any object used for beating, not just a formal weapon.
