EN: electoral; pertaining to elections
This word pops up more often than your long-lost relatives during campaign season. **Panghalalan** describes anything and everything related to elections: the drama, the jingles that get stuck in your head, the free t-shirts, and the solemn duty of shading a ballot. It's the adjective for the Philippines' national sport.
From `pang-` (relational prefix) + `halal` (to elect) + `-an` (suffix indicating relation).
ROOT MEANING: elected official
Often used to modify nouns like `kampanya` (campaign), `araw` (day), or `batas` (law).
